They blame it on the publishers but I've seen those formats at Diesel before Fictionwise releases them. I particularly don't like the way they release new ebooks only on Tuesdays. I've been a VERY loyal FW customer for years but am seriously considering changing camps. The only thing keeping me there is the Buywise club and the micropay dollars. If my frustration level keeps rising, though, that may not be enough to keep me there.
I worried that the merger (or buyout) with Barnes and Noble was going to muck up the works and I'm afraid it's starting to happen.  |
The problem is that Overdrive dropped Fictionwise. So eBooks available only via Overdrive won't be available from Fictionwise. No idea about going direct to B&N though.
