Scam - that's a bit harsh. It depends on what you read (and buy). The Spencer series is a good example: $7.99 is the regular price which is fully competitive with Amazon. The 40% you save can be reserved to pay toward another Spencer book down the road. That's a genuine bargain.
OTOH, I certainly agree that the Rex Stout "new" releases (of 1930s and 1940s novels) -- at $15 (!) are absurdly priced, even with a micropay rebate. However, Every store has them for $15 -- Fictionwise, Amazon, Sony, Kobo bookstores ... and each with a 30-40% discount. So you actually end up at the same place ... once you cash in your micropay rebate. However, I'd blame Random House for that silly pricing, not Fictionwise.
