Re: Ellison titles:
A number of Ellison titles that are $5-$9 at Fictionwise, are available for $0.99 or less at Amazon, with "Fictionwise Classic" listed as the publisher. It looks like the Kindle versions are individual short stories (although they're shown with the book cover for the book, and nothing in the description indicates you're buying one story).

Shatterday at Amazon: 21kb, $0.69; Shatterday at Fictionwise: 358kb for the Mobi version, $9.99.

Hmm. Has Amazon bought a Fictionwise license? I know FW will let other companies set up their own branded stores with a FW feed.
