Technically the $9.99 price for Kindle books is for "New York Times® Best Sellers and New Releases, unless marked otherwise". For the most part, $9.99 or less is the standard price from what I've noticed. Occasionally, the Kindle version of a new book will debut higher than the marked down hard cover version of the book but within about a week it will drop down to $9.99.

My standard example:

Quote:
5/27/08 morning: Hard cover = $17.13, Kindle version = $20.76.
5/27/08 afternoon: Hard cover = $17.13, Kindle version = $15.42
5/28/08 afternoon: Hard cover = $15.57, Kindle version = $15.42
5/30/09 afternoon: Hard cover = $15.57, Kindle version = $14.01
6/4/08: The Kindle price FINALLY dropped to $9.99
Fictionwise.com comes the closest to Kindle pricing but to get the best prices, you need to become a member of their BuyWise Club and make use of their MicroPay reward program.

I don't know much about the eBookwise reader but I'm sure someone who knows more can advise you.

And yes, the $100 off a Kindle offer is over.
