Amen! Even if they price the ebook the same as the print book, I can go to Barnes & Noble or Books-A-Million and get at least 10% off the cover price with membership, but they refuse to apply membership discounts to ebooks similarly, which makes the price of the print book cheaper.

Ditto. I bought the things I REALLY wanted, but figured I'd hold off since the BookRiot50 coupon extended the 50% off sale an extra pay cycle. I still have a few items I will probably use the BookRiot50 on, but not as many as I had originally anticipated.
