I am not trying to be inflammatory, but the part in your reply that I've highlighted above is incorrect (or partially correct). You don't have to enter the credit card you used to make the purchase, you have to enter the credit card number for the one you have on file as your "Secure eReader Unlock Code" and it can be different than the card you used to actually make the purchase, but it might in fact be the same. I only point this out so it might assist someone else.

I double checked and you are correct, thank you for pointing this out. For me the card registered and the card I used to buy is one in the same, and simply forgot I registered the card in the past.

I can't say though that I'll ever buy another eReader book from them. I must now download a local copy and keep the exact name and credit card number on file if I ever hope to activate this book again on another computer, Blackberry or other device. I really don't like the Unlock scheme and will seek a format and reader that are more stable (that credit card is liable to drop me tomorrow).

Well as long as the file has DRM you are always at risk of losing the file. Trust me it's happened to me already several times. Most of the books I've lost are not due to me changing devices but the book no longer being maintained on the server.
This DRM is one of the better ones, it is device independant and is directly supported by fictionwise who has great consumer relations.
And since you pointed out that it's a CC that is registered with FW, all you have to do in the event that you forget the original CC is to register a new card at fictionwise and re-download the eBook.
