The agency model will not allow any sales/discounts on their eBooks.

I do think that once people's club membership and/or micropay are up, I think they'll stop shopping at Fictionwise. I see Fictionwise's future as one of going out of business.
Even though they are part of B&N as far as I know FW sill gets most of their books from Ingram Digital (& possibly other distros). From what I've found Ingram is still working thing out with some (all?) of the Agency 5.
