I received the following email from WH Smith today:

"AN IMPORTANT REMINDER TO SECURE YOUR EBOOKS - DEADLINE SATURDAY 31ST DECEMBER

WHSmith has partnered with Kobo to bring you an improved eBook offer.

We are now able to transfer your library of eBooks purchased from WHSmith to a new Library with Kobo. The benefits of this are:
Read your books on almost any device.
Hold your library in one place.
Ensure that your previous purchases are available to you."

So much wrong with this - the lack of advance warning (you have to move your books by tomorrow) and the fact that the books I actually bought from WH Smith are geo-restricted and are unavailable from Kobo (which is why I bought them from WHS in the first place).

Glad I already had them backed up.

Boo for WH Smith - they're making the same mistakes Borders made. I hope this doesn't mean they're about to go belly up in the same manner.
