I do still occasionally buy books at BoB - they have had some I wanted available at least two weeks before Fictionwise, and I didn't want to wait. But most of my shopping is done at FW.

To tell you how bad it can be, I nearly bought the same book again, even though I'ts one of the only two Books I bought on BoB
Luckily, i thought the name was familiar, and checked my Backup folder, and realised that I already had it, and avoided wasting $20.
Yes, FW is often little late in getting the latest books, compared to BoB and others, but as I'm usually not after the latest best seller's anyway, it's not that big of a concern.
Being a bit of a cheapskate also helps as while new book prices have recently improved, in the past they used to be pretty expensive. So Not being willing to pay inflated prices did mean learning a lot of patience
