Found out about this only last night and managed to download all of my books but one which even though it's in my library goes to a 404 page displaying the "we're closing at midnight on the 31st." notice. Fortunately it isn't one I paid for and I do have another copy in Calibre as well my tablets. And I managed to get my ebucks -- which I'm ashamed to say I'd forgotten about -- all spent but for 66 cents which is better than I'd expected as they weren't showing at all the first time I tried. But a huge chunk of my wishlist is nowhere to be found so I'm gonna have to start from scratch there. Assuming I can find somewhere to start over that has the books I read at decent prices in the format I prefer, which is plain vanilla epub. Would not have known about it at all if I hadn't checked in here and saw it on the front page so thanks for the heads up. And thanks to Calibre and the tools I'm not as burnt by this as I otherwise might have been. Still hurts though, ARE was my favorite store since Fictionwise went kablooey. :-(
