Rescuing your Fictionwise/eReader books

Due to Stanza not currently being supported in iOS5 (and maybe never), I found myself in need of rescuing my eReader (.pdb) books I had bought from Fictionwise....as there are no other iOS apps that suppor the format (to my knowledge).

I added a new credit card to my fictionwise account....that way I knew for sure the username/card# to unlock my books.

Then I bulk downloaded my books from fictionwise, and unzipped the file into it's own directory.

I installed the plugins for Calibre (google "Apprentice Alf"), and set the ereader pluggin with my new account info.

I then imported the books into Calibre, and converted to ePub. All is good.

Next I have to figure out how to get my epub books that are on my iPad in the iBooks app copied to my computer so I don't loose them.

My Amazon kindle books and iBook Store books are, of course, just fine. I could just redownload them from their respective apps as needed.
