I've worked my Micropay balance down to under $80 and at the rate I'm using it up it should be gone by Fall. I didn't discover Fictionwise until a few years ago but I'd been buying from eReader for many years before. I still have a balance over at eReader so I'll have to see about using that up, too.

Nowadays, I purchase very little since the Agency cartel has decided to kill the ebook market. My wishlist is huge but I will not purchase when I can walk into a bricks and mortar bookstore and purchase the physical version for less even with sales tax. Especially since on many of the ebooks the price has not been reduced once the MMPB is released. Why pay $12.99 for an ebook when I can walk in and buy it for $3.86 as a MMPB?

Fictionwise was doing okay until the Agency Five agreement but this will kill it.
