I think Smashwords has a good opportunity here to see if they can get all the multi-format stuff from FW to their system. I'm not sure if authors on Fictionwise gave them exclusive or not. Also, Smashwords could perhaps do some type of "move your books" thing where they will somehow transfer any multi-format ebooks you have bought from FW over to your Smashwords account
