You keep repeating the same tired narrative about Fictionwise and BooksOnBoard and I keep pointing out that Fictionwise was purchased in 2009, well before agency pricing went into effect and BookOnBoard closed down in 2013, a time period in which Agency pricing was no in effect due to Judge Cotes 2012 order to the publishers. BooksOnBoard attributed their demise to having to compete with deep pocketed companies like Amazon, B&N and Apple.
Fictionwise was bought, but it still ran the same until agency cause it to no longer be able to keep it's rewards, discounts, and club memberships going.

BooksOnBoard was the same. It was no longer able to keep the rewards, discounts, and such due to agency.

That's why these two went under because their business models were no longer able to be. They then could not compete. So yes, agnecy did take down these two stores.

That is the truth and no matter if you believe or not, it's what is.
