[QUOTE=annajennifer;283466]despite the hype surrounding the launch of the Kindle, this is a technology which in my humble opinion is not quite ready for the prime time. It's expensive, very expensive, for what it does; and what it does, it doesn't do particularly well. I still believe there is a role there for dedicated e-book readers, but I'd like to see better quality, more responsive, and above all cheaper e-ink displays than exist at present.

Fictionwise is having a similar sale. They are like siblings trying to out do each other.

I just looked at the list of NY Times Bestsellers at Fictionwise. I either have the few I want or don't want most of them.

I probably should pay more attention to the emails Fictionwise sends me since half the time I don't know about the special sales until I read about them here.

I got the two books I had been eyeing but refused to pay $20+ buck for:

From Dead to Worse [Southern Vampire Series Book 8] by Charlaine Harris
The Host [Secure Mobipocket] by Stephenie Meyer

$8.46 per book (for club members) is much more reasonable!
