This year I've averaged 60% discount on retail price at fictionwise.

This is 47 separate purchases over the year, a couple of $100 buys, but mostly in the $6-$20 range, a total of 147 books.

My average (mean) micropay rebate on the price I paid was 42%.

The current retail price of those 147 books on Amazon (substituting the net price I paid for those I couldn't find on Amazon - not many) was $827.02. (The fictionwise retail is $1090)

I paid fictionwise $431.85 for them, a saving of $395.17 over the Amazon prices.

I'll happily buy from Amazon when they have a special price, or a freebie offers. But at the moment, buying from Fictionwise (during sales, naturally) is a much better deal for me.
