thanks for that!! I honestly never realized Mobipocket was a wholesaler. Now it makes perfect sense why their prices are typically higher.
I have been buying mostly from Baen, Fictionwise and will surely look at BooksOnBoard too. But I still have to finish that bundle from Steve Jordan before I am 'allowed' another book into the house. I mean gee wiz, I find a way to not take ANY room in the house with my books and what do I get for that? A book allowance....hrrrrmppph!!
