Well that’s a cool way not to lose people who buy a Kindle while still providing a convenience most other eBook retailers do not.
Unfortunately you still have to pay Amazon for the email download through the Kindle mailbox where if you simply learned to buy the Mobipocket format eBook and download to your computer you would get a better priced deal. Except on Mac OSX where Mobipocket DRM does not work. Now if Fictionwise had provided a Mac OSX Mobipocket DRM reader App along with all this they would have a have huge customer base running to them right now. Don’t just think providing another service guys, go the extra step and think “unique delivery channel” by integrating sales with the ability to read the file and transfer to the Kindle by wire without paying the Amazon fee. Stanza did that even.
Oh and can I just say Fictionwise that website layout template you use is tired. I mean it! That style eMarketplace website was over in 2004. So can you try and update the layout maybe make the covers a little more prominent and reformat/cut down on all those words sprawled across the page like someone sneezed and tried to wipe it off? Oh hey, fix your search functions finally would you while you are at it I heard Google has pre-built APIs that work.
