I can still find plenty of multiformat books to purchase so my Micropay isn't just sitting there. I even renewed my magazine subscriptions.
Since almost every single DRMed book is priced higher than I'm willing to pay (thank-you agency pricing) even if Fictionwise had the big five publishers I still wouldn't be buying from them.
Am I concerned about Fictionwise's future? Of course, but businesses go under all the time and I've learned to immediately download and backup any digital purchases. The magazine subscriptions are more problematic but I would hope that Fictionwise would either find someone else to honor the subscription or refund my money in the event of their going out of business. IMO, it's more likely they would be completely absorbed by B&N including their multiformat catalog.
