Anybody else notice that their 100% rebate titles have gone to all ereader formatting? As have a number of other books. I hope it isn't a trend, as I really don't like that format, even if it is compatible with an iphone. For one thing, they almost never include the covers with their ereader books.

And if they do, the images are tiny and low resolution, and look atrocious in their windows reader.

yeah, I was going to ask if they started to discontinue the .lit format, because all the secure books I saw were eReader or mobi.

and yes, eReader looks really ugly.

The problem is that with overdrive dumping Fictionwise, some eBooks won't be available in any other format but eReader. I know Simon & Schuster seem to have stopped with MS Reader format. And (not 100% sure), but it seems to me that Mobipocket distribution seems to be slowing down a bit.

But these titles with 100% rebate in eReader exist in Mobipocket format !
So it really must be deliberatly that the rebate doesn't apply to the PRC format.

Unless they are from Overdrive which Fictionwise no longer has access to.
