I figured this was going to happen, one of the reasons I purchased an E reader was to save money, after all there is no shipping, no inventory, and no overhead, yet they still charge full price! I sent them an Email and told them that I would no longer frequent their sight because of this (I have purchased dozens of books in the past). If this becomes the trend, these companies will render the ereader worthless, hell, if I'm paying full price, I might as well buy the book at the bookstore!

Since FW has always charged full list (unless you're getting a membership discount or promo) I'd look more to publishers, some of whom have been raising prices, than to the B&N buyout of FW for the higher prices.
