I'm lucky I guess since I'm trying to buy all the Fletch books and Nero Wolfe novels and they are sold cheaper on Fictionwise with the discounts than anywhere else. I've built my micropay back up to $85, but with several Rex Stout books coming a week and the fact I still need to buy a few more Fletch books I'm sure I will spend it.
I'm honestly not worried about it getting shut down. B&N owns it and I'm sure they will compensate us in some way if that happens. They want Fictionwise and ereader.com customers buying Nooks they are not going to just steal our outstanding micropay and drive us away.
As far as the books I have all of mine downloaded and the DRM removed so I feel I actually own the books I have bought and if Fictionwise goes away I can move on to another store or device in the future without worry. I hope Fictionwise sticks around though. I've shopped there for nearly 10 years and really don't want to see all the smaller online book stores close.
