My solution is to avoid depending on being able to re-retrieve DRMed copies from Fictionwise. As soon as I buy a book, I download it, strip the DRM, and toss the DRM-stripped LIT file into my archive. I simply don't worry about the re-activation count -- in fact, due to factors not worth going into I'm on my 3rd or so activation for a fourth completely different account. This has the added benefit that I don't lose all my books if Fictionwise suddenly goes under .
