30% or less rebates have always applied to Micropay sales in the past, even across-the-board ones. E.g. the 30% off Science Fiction ebooks in May 2009.

For the past couple of months new DRM'd books have been available with a 35% rebate that does apply even when paying with Micropay. Good deal. But the 30% off sale last week, didn't work with Micropay. -Marcy |

I'm sorry, I guess I was a little too free in my use of the word "always". I didn't actually mean to say that you always had to pay with a credit card to get the major rebates, just much of the time. At least, that's been my experience. As Marcy said, it does seem to vary from sale to sale, and I haven't been able to set down any hard and fast rules either. In fact, there's even been a time or two when a particular book said you would get the rebate only with a credit card payment, but then after I added it to my cart, it let me pay with micropay and I still got the rebate. The whole thing's been a little buggy for a while. YMMV.

I don't mind if the discounts on RRP drop, if the RRPs also drop. We'll have to wait until the dust settles I guess. |

I bought a few books on Monday and only the club discount applied since I was using Micropay. All other rebates (which were less than 35%) would only be applied if I used a CC or Paypal.

I tried to re-download a book (just to test, I already have it backed up on my PC) and this is a book that is as Fictionwise puts is "No Longer For Sale" and I got this message:
"Territory not authorized. You are attempting to download an e-book that has territorial restrictions and it appears that you are in a country that is not authorized. Please contact the website you purchased this e-book from to determine if an error in processing has occurred. We apologize for the inconvenience." |

I think this is still on topic?
The ebooks that were on my online bookshelf at eReader.com (a Fictionwise owned site, now both owned by B&N, of course) and that had not been available for download, can now be downloaded, again. Luck; Ken |

Of course it is possible that they switched source/publisher which might have the effect of GR begin recently added. (i.e. it would be a new contract) If that's the case they *might* be able to re-negotiate so the new source would honor previous sales. But who knows. Like I said, it'll be interesting. |
