I am sort of the opposite. I used to like Fictionwise but since BoB appeared I rarely shop at Fictiowise for various reasons. Unless you are a Buywise member which is something that never tempted me - unless you are really disciplined, membership in any club like this whether online or Costco or B&N makes you spend much more than you intended, savings and all - the price at BoB is lower to much lower, they offer also extra 2% if you use Google checkout which is trivial to set up, the Rewards while requiring sending an e-mail are much better structured than Micropay which I always found annoying with all or nothing.
Also BoB releases books on street date at 1 am my time - 12 am CST - and since most of my purchases are new books I have been looking forward to for a long time, there are many nights that I stayed until 1 to get the book and then read even if a little from it
So for me BoB wins hands down on all aspects
