It depends on what you are doing. If you are using a Sony reader you really have to buy nonDRM ebooks to get the Sony format. In that case there is no registering devices... the book will work on any device you put it on.
Sony does not support any of the DRMed formats on Fictionwise. So, you would need to remove the DRM and convert the format to the Sony format. Once you do this, since there is no DRM the ebook will work on both devices.
Generally the Mobipocket and eReader DRM formats on fictionwise allow for multiple devcies, but a bit differently. For mobipocket format you register a device id (PID) with the store. You can have up to 4 PIDs registered and any book you download will work on any of those 4 devices. With eReader when you read the book you have to enter your credit card number and name that you used to buy the book. However, there are no eReader eInk devices.
