I know a little on the Mobipocket (OD) vs. (PX) issue. OD is OverDrive. Not sure about PX but they are the repositories of the Mobipocket ebooks. Fictionwise does not keep the books themself. So when you download a book from Fictionwise, you actually DLing it from PX (since OD & Fictionwise are no longer doing business together). And that is the extent of my knowledge.
Fortunately I only had a very few OD books when they parted ways. I'm not sure whether the OD & PX organizations have anything to do with setting prices but they might.
