MobiPocket closed the loophole that allowed FictionWise to accept the Kindle PID. If you login and look at "update your PID" under "update profile", my guess is that the Kindle is no longer there (or there without the "*"). So far as I know, it does not help to try adding the Kindle PID back again. If it is there but corrupted, then try deleting it (you may need to get FictionWise to do this).

I think the only approach that still works with FictionWise MOBIs is to use mobidedrm against another PID, e.g. one for a Windows PC. Note that this strips the DRM (which kindlefix did not do) and may therefore be illegal where you live.

The kindlefix approach still works on OverDrive MOBIs, e.g. some Books on Board and lending library ebooks.
