Hey congratulations on the new blog. It looks like a great idea. I'm bookmarking it. I like that Amazon pricing scheme looks so good. I just bought an iPod and one thing that help push me over the edge was the Amazon lets iPods access their Kindle Content.
I'm wondering if everyone that is complaining about the change in Fictionwise pricing realizes the they were bought by Barnes & Noble recently? Could that be driving the change in pricing?
I would be interested in your views about Webscriptions that sell mostly Baen Publishing's books but have started offering books from other publishers as well. Baen offers their books, the dead tree releases, in an electronic format at the same time, or even a couple of weeks before the dead tree release, at a substantial discount. If they're right we're really getting ripped off by all other publishers when we pay for their books, but apparently we're not getting ripped off as much at Amazon.
