You do have to be picky about what and when you purchase at Fictionwise. That said, they often have really good deals. The deal today with authors: Leigh, Grafton, Evanovich is a really good deal especially if you already have a micropay balance because you can pick up their backlist free. That is because they are 100% micropay rebates even when purchasing using Micropay. Most of the time to get 100% micropay you have to buy with Paypal or Credit Card.

There are definitely cases where books are overpriced at Fictionwise as compared to Amazon or other...so you do have to be price aware. The price discrepancy is in part due to the provider Fictionwise is using with some of the books...over a year ago there was a "breakup" with another provider they were using.
