well interestingly amazon seems to be somewhat ahead of the curve as opposed to fictionwise. I looked for books by brian stableford in hs emortality series. they are still not back at fictionwise . But in the kindle bookstore they are. they are published by macmillan(one of the gang of five). On the kindle webpage there is a line that says the price has been set by the publisher. Same thing for a new book called the lotus eaters by tatiana soli. What is interesting is that on the mobipocket website(owned by amazon) they still have not appeared. Nor on fictionwise or barnes and noble as of this moment. So in sounds like it is a work in progress. I suspect the sticking point for fictionwise is their buywise program- the publishers don't want to allow discounts. what will happen on the mobipocket website is anyone's guess. will amazon abandon it?
