I do business with FW, because that unfairness is not entirely their fault.
The whole business model, based on a per-copy payment, is obsolete, and a single retailer can't do much about it.
Besides, I always buy books with discounts on them, and Italian resellers charge 13€ for a British paperback...


So it's a trade-off between giving away my right to own what I buy and having it at a good price.
