Fictionwise has ebooks of some books I already have in print-- I'd like ebook copies, but don't want to buy them twice (at least at full price.) So I bit the bullet and tried to maximize the deals available. I joined the club ($29.95 fully rebated, plus $10 coupon) bought some things with that micropay, which lead to more micropay, etc. I reached a point were I had slightly less micropay than the cost of one of the books I wanted, so I added $5.00 in micropay through Paypal. At one stage I dropped in the 25% off coupon. In the end, I ended up with 13 items (mostly books, 2-3 sub 50-cent articles) for a total of $33.10 with $1.85 still left in micropay. All the items together listed for $141.89. So more than 75% off overall, plus I have the 1-year membership.
