As an aside, around Christmas I bought about 35 books from Fictionwise and used a number of their 100% after rebate deals. Bought the Twilight Series for my wife and Tolkien's books for 100% off. Also bought the Chronicles of Narnia, 9 Robin Hobb books and others. All of the 100% deals were on my credit card, along with a Buywise membership, for a total of $115. Since they were running a massive sale at the time (something like 35% Micropay on all titles) + my 15% Buywise discount, I was able to buy all of the titles I wanted and still have about $60 left in Micropay. 35 books for $115 is a good deal, but 35 for $55? Awesome. And I even missed their Buywise deal by a day (100% of Buywise back as Micropay). That would have been another $30 back!

As long as they carry books I like, I'm comfortable having in-store credit. I bought my first ebook reader from FW over 5 years ago and they still seem like they are going strong.
