Well yea. The point is to get you to spend money. They don't get revenue when you spend micropay $s.

As mentioned elsewhere, I have been going to buy the Chambers Dictionary, on Harry's recommendation, for some time. I just never got a round tuit. Well, in the interim, I've been wanting Harraps Shorter French-English dictionary, and, again upon Harry's recommendation (hmm, I might have to put HarryT on my Ignore list for the sake of my credit card), I wanted the Penguin Deluxe version of Homer's The Odyssey.

So, buying them one at a time (I'm not a Fictionwise member), I bought the dictionary, got the Micropay rebate, which allowed me to get the French-English Dictionary, whose Micropay Rebate, on top of the Chambers leftovers, let me get The Odyssey.

In my situation, the Micropay Rebate was perfect. I got the second two books effectively for free. Of course, now there's also a small Micropay balance burning a hole in my virtual wallet at Fictionwise...so I guess they know what they're doing.

Still, I'm pretty stoked. The Chambers Dictionary, on initial purview, looks well-worth the money, as does (unsurprisingly, considering their common origin) the French-English dictionary, and the "Deluxe" version of The Odyssey is as HarryT reviewed as well.

Good deal all up, I reckon. I'm one very happy chappie.

Cheers,
Marc

Actually I prefer the green one; you know, the one that maybe has a little bit of age to it....

In the latest version of the Chambers Dictionary (August '08 edition) Jeremy Paxman, in his foreword, was very critical of Robert Burns (apparently he's mean about Scotland on a regular basis) but it was all included because apparently we can 'take it on the chin'.
Just a bit of random news, the article can be found here.
