This verification appears do to a real country check, and without verification you cannot download the book.

However, I would like to point out that some of the books that are now restricted were bought some time ago. For example, I purchased "America's Game" in December 2008, at a time where no warning concerning geographical restrictions were ever issued on your website.
While I know Fictionwise makes no promise to keep books downloadable "for ever", I find it somewhat dishonest that books that were purchased in good faith are suddenly unavailable for download without prior warning. Your website tells me my membership expires soon: I have no intention of renewing it. In addition, I am now cancelling my pre-order of "Transition" by Iain Banks, as I have no certainty I will be able to download the book.
Sincerely yours.

Some of the books I bought in 2004 I can't download anymore... I think I'll cancel my subscription and completely do away with Fictionwise if they treat their old customers this way.
