Now, look at the same title in the same format at the Sony Reader Store. It's price is $7.99. Perhaps you enjoy paying membership fees that give you the opportunity to purchase a title at twice the price available elsewhere. I do not. Sadly, I conclude that I have not received the benefit I was promised when I purchased my FW membership. Still not convinced, then please check the same title at Barnes and Noble, the parent company of FW. Surprise!!! It's $7.99!!!! Please explain the benefit I have received.

But isn't price comparison your responsibility and something you should have done before buying the membership in the first place, which in the end has nothing to do with your complaint now? It seems like you're talking about two different things here.
I don't know. I price compare pretty much everything I buy. If some club tells me I'm going to pay less from them by being a member you're darn right I'm going to do price comparisons to see if that claim is true for what I would buy from them. *shrug*
