There obviously are exceptions, but, by and large, prices really are pretty similar for all the formats. That is thanks to the Kindle - its effect has been to drive down prices for other eBook formats.

Do you have any examples in mind of books which are cheaper for the Kindle than for other devices?
Was that with or without club membership? My problem with Fictionwise purchases is that Secure Mobi does not run on the Kindle, so I tend to look at Amazon first when shopping. Which is, I suppose, the reason Amazon has their business model set the way they do.
