Angry!

As I said before I've been very happy with the 1.5 firmware on my Cybook, but now it seems that my main bookstore - Fictionwise seem to have dropped secure mobi format.
This means:-
a) some of the books in my bookshelf are no longer available, which means books in the series I haven't yet bought are either not available or only in another format.
b) books in my wishlist are only available now in non mobi format
c) I have $39 in my account that is of little use

This seems to have happened in the last few weeks (my last purchase was a bunch of books in early March which I have jsut finished).

Recommendations please:
I suppose the obvious is to go to V2.0 and epub
I can de-drm all my mobi, then use (calibre?) to convert them
Or will V2 still read non-drm mobi?
Fictionwise seem to have only some titles in epub, I'm guessing that secure pdf is not the same
Will they gradually convert everything to get a full catalogue
who can recommend a better store - assuming I go epub?

Sorry if this has been discussed, not been on here much lately and the search function produced way too much to wade through.
TIA
