New mobipocket format price increase?!
Ok, I don't know what happen, when when I saw my wishlist in BoB today, all prices were increased about 3-5$!
I was considering making a crazy move and buy this book: http://www.booksonboard.com/index.ph...31780&v=buynow for the 22$ it cost, but now the price was once again updated for the worse! |

Goodness me. I bought it for $12.97 (net) on 2 Nov 2008 from Fictionwise. Checking today, counting in the current global 10% off, I'd be paying $16.22 (net).
I guess I got a good deal! For once, the fictionwise price, even ignoring micropay and club membership, is a lot better than BoB. $22.46, with the 10% off deal that's on to the end of the week. (code BN2009) Quote:

You don't think they raised the price for their big "blowout" sale do you? All books are supposed to have 30% in reward dollars as a sale for 'read an ebook week'.

Dangit, you could be right. although they increased the price of the book I bought on monday with $0.63 only. With the promotion though the book would still be $11.96 and $5.13 in reward dollars. Versus the $16.46 I payed for it.
Hmm, I'm giving them the benefit of the dought . |

Way to go. "Free 30% in reward dollars (after paying an extra 30% in real dollars)". |
