You pay the regular price for the book (or club price if you join the club).

For whatever amount you buy, an amount equal to 50% is deposited in your micropay account which is like store credit. You can then later use the micropay 'money' to buy subsequent books.


For the current sale you must use a credit card or PayPal to purchase books and get the 50% micropay back.

I bought $51 and change in books and got around $26 micropay credit. Not a bad deal. Books were cheaper than the Kindle store during this sale. And you can get lit format and remove the drm if you feel the urge.
