This DRM issue is driving me up the wall. It's not your fault and (again) I appreciate the speedy explanation.

I'm not a fan of DRM (it's fair to say I hate it with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns). I bought my Kindle 2 knowing the DRM on their ebooks had been cracked.

I found my login info for Fictionwise and decided to check the account. Yep, it's still there. My old purchases happen to all be DRM-free books. There were some new books I was flirting with getting, that are DRM-only. So, I thought I'd put them in my cart and sleep on it overnight. I could use a Mobipocket PID or eReader PID to secure them with my shiny new iReader software. So, instead I get to find out that the software that allows me to read DRM books is ITSELF violating some sort of law.

I wasn't aware FBreaderJ supported mobi format books. When I first downloaded it, it didn't, and I've only ever used it with epub books. I literally haven't bothered to try it on mobi format books all this time. Thanks for the pointer. It gets me back on track . Now all I need is for Calibre to add book merging and I'll be in eBook heaven.
