I've been a long time fictionwise user - so, when I picked up the Sony 505, I continued w/ FW - I did find a way to de-drm my books, and purchase in mobipocket secure format. It's an extra step, but I have an easy setup now to do it. So, don't be discouraged that you bought a fw membership. You can still take advantage of it w/ secure books by taking a couple of extra steps.

Oh, and look at your local library for books to check out online. I had to go one county over to get a library card. My only complaints are that there seems to only be two genre's - thriller (i.e. Cussler) and romance. I am not a big reader of either. And, the other complaint is the majority of books are PDF and the display of them is entirely painful to get through and truly take away from the enjoyment of reading.
