Yes, once you pay, the book goes into your bookshelf. From the bookshelf, you can choose what format you want to download.

Exactly. Once it's in your bookshelf, you can select whatever format you desire and download it (or all of them).

Thanks again for your patience and quick response.

Once you've ordered and go to your bookshelf page there will be a drop down box where you can select what format you want to download your book in. You're also able to go back and download in other formats later, not stuck with whatever format you pick first.

Thanks. I didn't know that. The magazine's website lists ereader which seems to be gone, Amazon and Fictionwise. I wonder if on B&N it's encrypted. Over at Fictionwise I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't and I could load it straight to Calibre (and from there to my reader).

Fictionwise is definitely the best place to get them (too bad they don't sell through Webscription). Sony also sells them.

Just looked on the Sony Store, because I'd never seen them there before. Now I see why. It's listed as a "book" rather than a magazine. Sadly, it does not seem to be available as a subscription though. But it is cheaper than the standard Fictionwise price.

B&N does have a subscription, though I have no idea if it's got DRM or not. I guess I'll wait until I'm sure their on the next issue and then try the free trial to find out. . .

Thanks again.

I took the plunge this AM with a 40% code someone had posted on the nookboards forum, guess I should've waited. No biggie though, mostly bought a bunch of inexpensive DRM free short stories and only a few DRM'd books.

Might go pick up a couple more at 50% off though.

I did notice that my downloaded EPUBs all had a ZIP extension, but changing that to .epub worked just fine to make them readable on my computer, so I'm sure they'll be fine to transfer to nook.

Yay! I'm shopping......I'm shopping......

Look under the "Bookshelf Setup" box on the upper left of your bookshelf page. You probably have the "Download as .zip" box checked. Uncheck it and you'll be golden.

My email was only for 30%...but even at 50% I'm having trouble finding anything I want to purchase at the moment. The only purchase I've made at FW since Agency pricing hit was just to use up my micropay since that was changed too. I've been meaning to email them and see about closing/refunding my membership but just haven't got around to it. There were a couple of authors I just searched for that FW just doesn't carry anymore...and recently the things I have looked for they only had in ereader or PDF and not epub or mobi so I passed on those too.

thinkpad · 08-29-2010, 03:26 AM

I haven't shopped from Fictionwise in ages and found out that I had a micropay balance of $7 dollars

, so I got two books:
Flight of the sparrows
Pearl of fire

Yoshi 1080 · 08-29-2010, 09:57 AM

Oh too bad, they only sent me a 40% coupon ... for which I bought 6 eBooks!

Well, a 40% rebate is awesome too!

mish · 08-29-2010, 11:11 AM

Thanks so much for sharing the coupon! So glad I stopped by today.

Heading over to Fictionwise now. I have bunches of books in my wishlist just waiting for coupon! I just wish the Samhain books were eligible.

Marcy · 08-29-2010, 11:27 AM

I'm not feeling the love from Fictionwise. They didn't send me *any* coupon at all. So, I used the 50% off one to get some cozies in multiformat. I'll have to flip through the rest of my ravaged wishlist tonight and see if there is anything else available.

mish · 08-29-2010, 12:07 PM

Just got eight multiformat books for under $20! Sweet! If you buy one of the new listings at 15% off you will get both discounts!

Just curious...did this coupon code come in their regular newsletter? I usually get them but haven't seen one in the past couple of weeks.
