Just a word of warning when paying with Paypal (and I'm sure what ever credit card) CHECK THE TOTAL before hitting the final 'submit' button with this coupon. I was expecting to spend about $29, but it came up as just over $70 when the paypal page pulled up. I know the coupon was entered correctly the first time, and the price didn't show different until I got into Paypal. The second time it came up with the coupon price. And I re-checked Paypal afterwards to make sure. It was okay. I've never seen it do that before. But I almost screwed up. |

I just registered & tried to place an ebook order to take advantage of this discount but the order would not process because I did not choose a format. I don't see where I choose a format? Is this because I'm from Canada & we're part of the geographical block?

I don't receive emails from Fictionwise, they stopped last spring. I still get the occasional eReader email.

I don't remember specifically, but to chose a format that's usually on the main book page, that gives you all the book info. IIRC, it was a tab over at the upper left where you had to chose a format. As for being in Canada, it'll depend on the book... (although I don't know how old this page is, or if anything has changed.) http://store.fictionwise.com/help/Ge...ictionsFAQ.htm What countries does this affect? The majority of our eBooks can be purchased by anyone in the world. All multiformat eBooks are unrestricted, for example. Every single eBook we sell can be sold to residents of the USA. Almost all of them can be sold to residents of Canada. Fewer than ten percent of our titles are restricted in any way. In most cases the restrictions are for European countries or Australia, but in some cases the restrictions can be quite complicated and affect many different regions. The eBook's description page will list any restrictions. |

I used to get it all the time. But I think the only secure format FW has any more is eReader so it would surprise me to see this error anymore. -Marcy PS: I bought all the Gideon Oliver books too! |

I tried to order a John Grisham, but I see all of his are for eReaders. I doubt I'll be suing that site much unless I can easily remove the DRM protection ;o(

Great coupon! Picked up one of my favorite sci-fi short story collections, STORIES OF YOUR LIFE AND OTHERS by Ted Chiang (highly recommended!) and got to sample ELLERY QUEEN and ALFRED HITCHCOCK mystery magazines for cheap. All in EPUB format. Thanks!

Picked up Terry Brooks complete Landover trilogy for $6.40 so I'm happy. Now to convert it to ePub since Fictionwise only sells protected books in eReader now.

Easy is in the eye of the beholder, but once you've installed the right software, it's usually straightforward to strip eReader DRM and convert to ePub or Mobi formats with Calibre. |

1) Import the file into calibre, with the correct plug-in installed. 2) Convert your pmlz file to epub or whatever format. Really couldn't be much simpler. -Marcy |

Thanks for sharing. The code still worked as of 5:30 Tuesday. I killed off the last tiny bit of MicroPay, and bought a bunch of old backlist from a favorite author (Mary Jo Putney). Can't say I've liked her recent books, so it will be nice to curl up with some oldies and see if I still like her.
