Unless you read exclusively from the NYT bestseller list, places like Fictionwise almost always had better deals/rebates.

And eight years later prices are still generally in the $12-$15 range. If we factor inflation (and we must), prices for such books would be $13.94-$17.43 today. This means the Big 5 list prices have actually decreased when the US CPI is considered.
I used DiapDealer's join date of January 2010 as a starting point. If we go back to 2007 the prices would be $14.93-$18.66.
