eReader and Fictionwise cutting prices

[quivo]

eReader to match Amazon eBook pricing:

I was thrilled to get this notice today from Fictionwise that details its new pricing scheme:
- No e-book priced over $12.
- All new e-books $9.95 or less
- All New York Times bestsellers $9.95
- Plus 15% rewards on all purchases

Has anyone bought anything from eReader or Fictionwise lately? I haven't, mostly because I got tired of the higher prices AND having to strip the DRM from my .mobi purchases, so this is an interesting development indeed.

The B&N overlordship doesn't seem to have resulted in any really drastic changes.

The new pricing is one thing I suspect B&N had a hand in, actually. I'm hoping they did, because that would mean they're serious about trying to make themselves an even better player in the market versus just making sure they've got a stake via Fictionwise.
