Havenmercy, Shadow magic, by Danielle Bennett.
Perhaps someone can test what happens when they buy one of these books now?
My fear is that this is just the beginning, and that all the books on your bookshelf with a region restriction will be changed to this new verification.
And I wonder if all the new books monday next week will have this new verification. This could become a big problem.

I just bought "The sparrow" by M D Russell two hours ago, and F****** I can't download it now due to geographic restrictions. A special message in my bookshelf asking for further verification.
I bought it with micropay though, so now I've emailed Fictionwise to ask if they'll remove it from my book shelf and re-imburse me the micropay dollars.
STOP PRESS: I just checked again, and I have the 'old' amount of micropay and the book is not in my shelf anymore. Might be a coincidence. Anyway, my Fictionwise membership runs out tomorrow anyway. I'd better find a new bookshop
The prices aren't so different anymore anyway, a few cents is not a problem.
EDIT: This has also been applied to other books in my bookshelf - THANK GODS I've already downloaded them. They aren't avaliable anymore.
