They're selling direct, kind of. What they're doing is selling using the same distributors (Lightning Source, Over Drive) places like Fictionwise and Books On Board use, and generally charging full retail to boot. Simon & Schuster used to be good. They sold using a distro (Lightning Source IIRC) but gave a good discount. It was often cheaper to buy direct than from FW or BoB.
