I am currently reading Gene Wolfe's The Wizard Knight (excellent book till now).
The book is somewhat on the heavy side (~2 phonbooks worth), so I thought I'd also get it in electronic form. Since I only get a version I can convert to any future reader I'll own, I only buy DRM books in .lit format. A short search revealed that the book was available in lit format from fictionwise

but not anymore, it seems:
http://www.fictionwise.com/eBooks/eBook20074.htm?cache
It is, however available for the kindle (at $7.99 much cheaper than the $19.95 for the fictionwise version), and also for the sony reader (here for $13.96).
Did people notice a similar trend? Are books disappearing from fictionwise in lit and other formats?
