masthead There have been tons of Kindle app reviews, all by the people whom we all know.  I was pleased to get an email from Brad Vertrees about a review he has just written on Brad’s Reader.  It does a nice job of covering the app from a new reader’s viewpoint. I’ll be adding his site to my RSS feeds.  One thing he covers is the price of the book he bought:

I decided to buy William Lashner’s Marked Man as a test book. Why? Because I’ve read a few other of Lashner’s books and have really enjoyed them, and I wanted something light and entertaining to test drive the Kindle app on.

The price I paid on Amazon’s Kindle store was $6.39. The same book on Fictionwise is $7.99. But, if you are a member of the Fictionwise Reward Program, you get 15% off ($1.20), which brings the price on Fictionwise down to $6.79. Not that big of a price difference, but Amazon is still cheaper on this one. I suppose if you buy a lot of books, the difference can quickly add up. Score one for Amazon.
