Well I was in the same situation as a previous poster - I hadn't gotten around to downloading all the Agatha Christie's from the previous sale to my Mac desktop yet. Of course they're not showing up now, so I can't download them now, and they may not re-appear.

However, very fortunately for me, I had downloaded them all to my iPhone using the eReader app. As my iPhone is jailbroken (for this very reason), using a Mac app I have (PhoneView) I am able to access the files directly on the iPhone. This allowed me to copy all of the 453 .pdb files (all the ebooks purchased from FictionWise and eReader) over to my Mac. While they are named obscurely e.g. 1A7D9A3B6DDC2162.pdb, simply importing them into Calibre provides the author and title information from the files meta data. Even better, they are all DRM-free! So I have all my ebooks and can easily convert them to any format I choose using Calibre, which has been a real godsend for me. How lucky is that!
