It seems like they are trying to discourage their most loyal customers.

No, they're offering the titles in the formats they can get. They aren't the publisher - they're the retailer. They are at the mercy of their suppliers.
Part of the problem eReader had was the the previous owners had lagged on new content acquisition, so there is a lot less available in eReader format than in Adobe PDF, Mobi, or other format. I'm sure Fictionwise is trying to address this, but first, the publisher has to agree to let them offer an eReader version, and then, someone has to create it. Amazon Kindle editions are made by a division of Amazon. Fictionwise would have to do their own conversions, and they're a
much smaller outfit.
