So for $20 you've gotten 3 books for an average of $6.66 a book. That's only a 33% discount, not the 50% you were thinking you were getting.

Yes, but right now you *are* getting the discount when you pay with Micropay. A really sweet deal. I bought almost my entire wish-list with my $132 Micropay balance, earned mainly on 100% rebate books.
I've spent $613.17 total at Fictionwise and prior to tonight I had received 156 books for an average cost of $3.93/book. I added 35 books and a short story tonight, only using my Micropay balance so now have 191 books (we'll ignore the short story) for an average cost of $3.21/book. Not too shabby considering many of these are higher priced books that are still selling for $10-12. For example Infidel which is $9.99 for the Kindle version or In the Woods which is also $9.99 for the Kindle version.
Plus the $3.93/book I paid before eating through my Micropay balance wasn't a bad deal either, although some of it was earlier Micropay purchases.
