That's one of the reasons I fight against DRM stuff. The ebooks are yours (well you have the right to read them whatever you want and where you want). Nobody can forbid me to read my pBooks in the kitchen or in the WC, and nobody can forbid me do the same with my eBooks.

Then your only solution is "delouse" the DRM of your eBooks and read with other programs. BookShelf is a good product that supports a bunch of formats (incluiding most pdb variants).

I’m a longtime customer of Fictionwise and I recently bought an iPad. All my ebooks from Fictionwise, however, are in the “recommended format” e.g. Secure eReader, but reading these ebooks on my iPad means I either have to read them iPhone size (too small for the iPad screen) OR blurry (increased to fill the size of the iPad screen).

Do you plan to develop an iPad version of eReader? If not, I regret that I’m not going to be making any further purchases from Fictionwise.

Hi,

Currently at this time, there are no plans to update the iPhone eReader app for iPad.

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Not happy about this, nor with Fictionwise’s uninformative form letter response.

:-(

Debbie

p.s. Any advice appreciated!
