I find Fictionwise to be quite a deal. I may pay list price for a best seller, but I also get 100% of what I spend in Micropay dollars. I save up my Micropay dollars until they have a good sale, like the one this past December where you get Micropay rebates even when paying with Micropay and clear out my wishlist, typically at <$2/book. My current average price per book at Fictionwise is about $2.30 and this includes many books bought at $15-20 with 100% rebates.
