How FictionWise Sells More eBooks Than Anyone Else, Including Amazon
Technically speaking, some of the obvious reasons are:
2. Support all formats: Unlike Amazon and BN.com, Fictionwise sells eBooks for every electronic format that's not easy to print out (the Predergrasts do not have printing rights to their stock) including Palm, Win CE, Pocket PC, Rocket, eBookMan and some PC-based formats.
3. No Download restrictions: Again, unlike many other eBook sellers, Fictionwise does not restrict the number of times a buyer can download the item they've purchased. In fact, Fictionwise keeps a personal "bookshelf" for each buyer to make additional downloads easier. Scott says, "What if your computer crashes and you have to wipe your hard drive? That shouldn't mean you've lost all your eBooks and have to rebuy them."
4. No encryption: Since there is no perfect, very-easy-to-use encryption format now, and several famous authors including Dilbert's Scott Adams have encountered significant backlash from Mac users (which most systems don't work on) and PC users who found de-encryption difficult, the brothers decided to spare themselves the extra customer service problems encryption would cause.
