I have used only FictionWise thus far with one exception (I bought the dictionary from MobiPocket), so I cannot really compare them much. However, what I find little bit hard with FW is the search algorithms. I mean there is tens of thousands books, and yet still (or maybe because of it) it is very hard to find books that attract me enough to make the actual transaction. For some reason it thinks that if one person gives a good rating, then it should be put to the top at the highest ratings list. Those books that have hundreds of ratings, fall below those single rating books because there is always someone who gives less good rating no matter how good the book is. Also, best selling definitely ain't the best quality, because most of those are more or less boring to read. So, there is only one way to find the book you want: manually search through them all.
Well, FW has quite nice search engine with ability to narrow price, category, keywords and even book's publishing date. Book length should be also there (which is not currently) and why on earth does it has to disable the search button after one search? Now, if you can see with one look that the search didn't produce what you wanted and would like to modify a search parameter, you will have to open the search again and input all variables again. If you try to go back, you might notice that you cannot press the search button.
Anyway, I would appreciate a good search program and reliable recommendations much more than few cent discounts.
