Why am I annoyed about the loss of my wishlist? Well if I had known it was going away I actually would have made some last minute purchases of books that I planned to buy in the next month.

As for merchandise changing, they are online books. Digital copies, its not like they take up alot of physical space. Even if a book is not selling well they can leave it available without it taking away from space.

As for price fixing? I agree, but I think this is going to backfire on the publishers in the long run. Maybe 20% of the book buyers are the ones that support the company long term, people like me who read 200+ books a year.

They should look at what Harlequin has done I think that they have made the transition to ebooks in a very smart way.

Ah well hopefully most of this will get sorted out fast!

Sorry! I was reading both this and the related "lawsuit" thread in two tabs. My response should have, really, gone in the other thread - about not getting the lawsuit.

I totally get the consumer frustration, lack of communication, etc. Just not suing over it.

I'll have to look into Harlequin (their business model anyway . I didn't know they'd done anything special as I've never looked for their books.
