I made a purchase from fictionwise last week, and compared the prices to amazon kindle prices.
For 15 books (with fictionwise club 15% discount + 10% large volume discount)
Fictionwise $100.48
Kindle $114.25
- There was one book that was $12 more on fictionwise that I decided not to purchase after seeing the price discrepancy.
- One amazon book was actually a 2 for 1 for the same price as 1 book.
- There were about 5 books on my wish list that were available for the Kindle, but not available on fictionwise.
- The books I bought on fictionwise used 3 different DRM encoding methods.
- I also received a $54 micropay rebate for my purchase.
Based on this and past purchases:
- Kindle has more content.
- Regular book prices for Kindle tend to be lower than fictionwise.
- Only buy fictionwise if there is a sale.
- fictionwise micropay adds up
- be prepared to deal with multiple DRM at fictionwise.
