Today I wanted to buy
Anansi Boys from the Connect Store. Well, first I wanted to check out the price before my Reader gets out of Customs. The paperback in Amazon.com is $8, while the ebook in Connect it's $16, and Fictionwise it's $20 (or $17 club, whatever that means). Now, if you check out Mobipocket... $8. The same
exact price scheme applies to Pratchett's
Thud!
Pratchett's
Wintersmith (just out in hback) is $12 in Amazon.com, $14 in Fictionwise and Mobipocket, and $12 in Connect.
Comparing this with
NatCh's results, it looks like Mobipocket is better for pback prices, BUT they already have Gaiman's
Fragile Things, which is not available from neither Fictionwise nor Connect. Anyway, this is stupid: ebooks already out in pback should be
way cheaper than the pback price.
My personal choice: buy pbooks to keep & own, then Connect (hahah) to IRC. Otherwise, scan them yourself.
