Well, yes. It seems ridiculous to have made a rod for their own backs. There's no external time table for the transfer. They could have closed down Fictionwise for new purchases while leaving the downloads available for months.
But even then it seems that technically it's a simple matter to get 90% of the transfers done, given that book title and author are readily available. No doubt there are some instances where the title and author don't match across databases, but the matching should only need to be done once for each title, not for each copy of the book.

This is certainly sensible advance, and I have now got all but my 8 Microsoft LIT books and 2 USA-only eReader books downloaded and de-drmed. I think the LIT ones are now gone for good, unless they get transferred to B&N.
