Fictionwise is having a sale - Page 4

Redcard · 04-04-2008, 06:51 PM

On that note.. is Fictionwise good with its recommendations? I mean, are things as recommended there seem to be true recommendations? I only ask this because one of the sites I used to visit a while back (had nothing to do with ebooks, mind) would cook the books on their recommendations.. and I want to make sure.

Redcard : do you mean the reader's reating ? I think it can be quite useful.
If you meant the Top Ebooks, Daily Specials, etc., they are more linked to sales than to the quality of the books.

As for the subject of the topic : I got a pretty nice reply from them asking me to proceed to the checkout I suspended, and they will manually add the rebates : I am getting still more reading material

Redcard - Do you mean the recommendations on the right hand side for some of the books? If so, I've found them to be hit or miss. I've been led to some gems and some duds. I do like the reader ratings, you have to purchase the book to rate it. Makes it hard to pad the ratings without spending $$$.

Woohoo...

Just purchased my first books from Fictionwise and converted it to LRF. Thanks to Kovid.

Unfortunately I missed the big sale.

Oh well.

Also, did you notice there is a bug on the FW site, if I log out, I can't login again without closing the browser.

Also, I would like for it to stay in https protocol all the time. Not even sure why the site lets you log in on a non-secure connection.
