The last of my magazine subscriptions expired last summer but I do have 7 years left in the Buywise club but I bought that when they were giving a lot of Micropay in return so I have no idea if I'm owed any money. Used to love Fictionwise and am sad at their demise.

Nothing from eReader yet here...
I'm sorry for those who used Fictionwise a lot.
It's not a loss for me personally (I've pretty much turned to my public library on Overdrive for reading material with the occasional Nook purchase), but I remember how Amazon screwed those who had an extensive Mobipocket DRM'd library from Palm days - they never so much as got an iOS app to read those books on. I was so grateful I only had a couple Mobi books with the majority being from eReader. It's a shame that B&N ended up doing something similar too, albeit at least with a transfer offer.
