Overall I found that Fictionwise tends to have more titles actually, but in the past at least they would release this week Tuesday 's - which is the usual street date for most books - next week's Monday, while BoB would release them at 1 a.m Eastern (12 a.m Central) on Tuesday morning/Monday night, so that was one factor that moved most of my purchases there since I would stay late to get the book I really wanted now.
The other is price and there rarely Fictionwise beats BoB - maybe if you pay to be a club member, but that is something I am not interested in at Fictionwise or B&N for that matter - also the fact that for Micropay you - at least used to since as mentioned I have not used Fictionwise for a while - have to have enough money to cover the book, while BoB dollar rewards are freely distributable. I get 7.33$ in my Micropay, I want to use them to buy a 11$ book, not wait for Micropay or purchase more Micropay with Paypal and such...
BoB overall is a much better proposition for me - Fictionwise may be a better deal if you stick with them long term - which for me is a big no, no - I want to buy today here and reserve my choices for tomorrow, and I will take whomever offers me better choices that way. If someone will appear with better prices than BoB, I will happily switch
