Since BoB uses rewards often for their sale prices, this effectively means you pay full digital list price for the books you buy using rewards dollars.
It's best to consider this a 1/2 price sale in conjunction with another purchase of the same list price, as that's the end effect.

I do somewhat agree with you in that booksonboard I'm finding is typically more expensive than say, the Sony ebookstore. It's taking some work, but I'm searching for title that have the same actual cost (list price less % discount) as something I would have bought from the Sony ebookstore. If you do it that way, and only buy books comparably priced (and not overpriced), then you can maximize the rewards dollars and truly get the Niffenegger book for free.
It's tricky, but also a quiet night, so time is all I've got.
