It's hard to blame eReader.com for this. I'd be more inclined to think this is the publishers fault esp when eReader has had similar prices to other eBook stores.

I'm just not too crazy about the eReader format it does not have good support for tables and images.

True.

They are different business units, having different stores allows them to run different promotions. Also eReader was acquired so in order to not alienate the existing client it's typical for business to maintain the old store front. I don't see Fictionwise going away now that Barnes and Noble goes away.
