Ah yes, that would make more sense, wouldn't it? And now I feel stupid.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping too. I have to say that Fictionwise's Buywise club and micropay rebates have been one of the biggest reasons that I've bought my books almost exclusively from Fictionwise over the last five years. I don't necessarily mind buying an ebook at the same price that the hardcopy sells for, but I balk at paying more for an electronic copy than a paper copy. And even the brick and mortar stores all have some form of rewards program to promote store loyalty, or at least the major chains do -- Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, etc. It seems vastly unfair to me that ebook sellers are having to discontinue the electronic version of an established practice. I can only hope it will all work out in the end.
