There are a lot of new books that I am interested in being released on April 6th. Most of them have now disappeared from retailer's sites and there are no preorder options now, either. It isn't just Books on Board, I found one title at Mobipocket for full hardcover price, and that was all.
It would have been nice, since the publishers conceived of this notion, if they had put the mechanisms in place regarding the feeds to retailers for them to be implemented without delays. Since they in their infinite wisdom did not choose to do this (yes, that was sarcasm), readers who choose to read in electronic forms are paying the price with delays and frustration.
I still say there's bound to be a discrimination suit in this somewhere... (that was sarcasm too, Jon, before you jump on me...)

We do have Sony & Kobo who have complied with the new Agency pricing so we have two shops to go to to buy the eBooks that others do not have. Amazon has eBooks missing as well as BooksOnBoard and Fictionwise. No idea about B&N. But the problem is that they have had enough warning and should have had this in place for today.
