For various reasons most of the books on my bookshelf are from Simon & Schuster...I can now download a grand total of 1 of them. My hard disk crashed about a month ago so I don't even have those books saved on my computer! So that's it? I just lost $100 work of books and I can't get them back?

Ignoring Kobo, since that seems to be a currency issue, what agency titles are at Fictionwise that are more expensive than at other retailers?

I don't think that runs into any legal problems; with retail it wouldn't, but with an agency setup, it's entirely unclear if it runs into weird consumer-protection pricing laws. (I still think the "nobody sells it lower than us" phrasing needs to be run past lawyers who understand pricefixing legalities; it certainly seems like either publishers or retailers are trying to establish an industry-wide minimum price.) |

Grisham's novels are published by Random House which is not a part of this Agency model change. Please keep your FUD to yourself.

FW has a 35% Micropay rebate and 5% Secure ereader rebate, making the net price $7.20 for each book. BN.com net prices range from $8.91 to $9.99 as their discounts are less (20 - 25%). I know the FW rebates are a little awkward to manage and the benefit can only be achieved buying in small batches then applying the rebates to the next batch... but what the heck, I can spare a few extra minutes to do it.

I was looking to get Robert Conroy's "Red Inferno", it's $9.75 on B&N and $18.95! on Fictionwise. Doesn't even have a rebate. Thing is, I can't even download from B&N cause I don't know what format I would get the book in. (I still have a PRS-500 and I need to be able to...uh...convert the ebook and I only know how to do that with .pdb formatted books) |

Done that... I believe I have $1,50 in micropay left... I'll check it once in a while, to see if there are some nice multiformat books.

The thing is, its looking like my Sony reader and Cybook are about to become expensive pieces of junk (basically), I go looking for a book and FictionWise no longer sell it, Amazon probably has it but its restricted to US customers only, Waterstones and WHSmiths dont sell it at all, this is happening 9 times out of 10 for me, all that's really happening is that authors are going to loose a lot of money from me because the industry is putting these ridiculous restrictions on everything! Way to loose money...

I noticed last week that John Maddox Roberts' SPQR series was much cheaper ($9.99) and more titles were represented at B&N than at FW, which is weird considering B&N owns FW. They are published by St. Martin's Press. I don't know whether that's a subsidiary of an agency publisher, but when I went to recheck the FW price just now I found they've mysteriously disappeared. Still at B&N though - perhaps I'd better buy the remainig books quickly...
