It worked, but it's sad to see FW decimated. The loss of Micropay rebates also put a damper on my shopping there.

That makes sense. And it explains why one epub I bought from them looked like it had been converted from another format. Not a very good conversion. I don't normally buy from B&N, I mainly signed up for their free offers. Now I'm even less inclined to buy from them knowing I could end up with an epub that had been converted from pdb.

I miss FW Micropay rebates, especially their 100% rebates.
