I like using the 100% rebates to bootstrap other purchases; but I only do them when I was going to buy something else anyway. Well, unless I have extra cash so I don't mind leaving it in Micropay for a while.
I'm comfortable with the system and it works for me.
In other news they appear to have fixed the 105% rebate hole-- but that doesn't really bother me.
I do think if I bought more mobi than ereader I might prefer BoB, but there's something about the gleeful feeling I get from buying books and watching my Micropay balance shoot upwards.
As it is I think you can probably get about equal deals from the two stores if you time your purchases properly. In my experience BoB is more likely to have slightly better prices and FW is more likely to have better rebate deals. It all depends what you buy and when and how you buy it as to which is going to be the better store for you at any given time.
I recommend everyone try both and see which one you like better.
In the meantime I'm enjoying the Micropay rebates:
