Interesting interchange with Fictionwise tech support

Well, I guess that'll teach me to read the fine print before buying anything that's DRM-encumbered again.

It turns out that Fictionwise only "promises" to retain encrypted books on the user's shelf for one week following purchase, and only for the specific device(s) licensed at the time of purchase. The fact that over the past ten years, they have not removed my Secure Mobipocket books, and additionally permitted me to add new devices to the list has just been out of the kindness of their heart.

Stupid me, I thought I was buying a book, with the right to keep on reading it.
