jenshale, welcome to mobileread, could you clarify your question.

From what we understand you have purchased books that are no longer available for you to download ?

Yes - that seems to be the case, and not only with Fictionwise. Changes in arrangements between the publishers and the sellers have meant, either a tightening up or contract agreement, or new contracts.

I can't remember when it started, but I suspect around a year ago - books bought prior to this time were unrestricted, since then - however - restriction means that the sale is only allowed according to where you live !!!! I've even had a case where a book purchase of a UK author from a UK seller was refused cos I am in the UK !!!!!!

In Fictionwise, books in my bookshelf, legally purchased, are no longer available for re-download cos of geo-restrictiveness ....

From what I've seen at Fictionwise, it only (clarification needed) affects DRM'd books. I can still purchase their multiformat books ....
