Thanks
I did suspect the situation might be like with FW. Their multi-format selection doesn't exactly attract me either.
I usually check WH Smith, but they've rarely had the books I was loking for. Waterstone's is a bit better, but I've also had good experiences with cyberread.com - at the moment they even offer a nice discount for creating reviews. And even at Amazon I've been able to buy most of the books I've been interested in. I guess I wanted to find out if shortcovers had evolved a bit in the mean time - I was a bit put out when they were first launched and I found out I couldn't buy anything from them
