I wouldn't bank on that. If they are so eager to promote their store and the Nook, then why haven't they cross-promoted either of them to the FW/eR newsletter audience? Other than the footnotes that say "a B&N company" on all the mastheads, you'd have no idea all 3 are "one big family."

ficbot, and lcalvin; why not have an american DL them for you, and email them to you. the DRM would make the files fairly useless to them. (even with removal tools, no access to the pid)
then you would have your files.

It won't do any good. Although Lightning Source is throwing up a territorial error, that isn't really the problem. FW/eR no longer have the rights to sell those books, so they aren't there to download, no matter where you live. I get the same message, on books that I DO have the geographci rights to. They just aren't on the server anymore.

For those who are still having issues downloading their older FW/eR bookshelves, if you were using an iPhone and they are still on your iPhone, you can recover them via iPhone Backup Extractor. The bad news - the files are all numeric, but if you open them in the eReader desktop software, you can see the title and rename.
I've been able to recover the last of my 12 missing titles this way, although it was a laborious process. Luckily, I still had the vast majority of my FW/eR purchases backed up from when I had to sync via Palm.
