I'm lucky that none of the Books I've bought have been affacted by this, but its renewed and confirmed my decision to buy DRM Free if Possible, and to only buy DRM formats that have been cracked.

I've been saving a DeDRM'd version and a Html version of every book I've bought and News like that has made me glad that i've done so.

While Fictionwise itself has been great, by seeking to replace the titles from another provider, not all sellers have been so generous, and raises the serious problem posed by DRM, where buyers lose access to their lawfully purchased content.

What I'm curious to know is the reason for this decision by Overdrive. Anyone heard anything concrete?
