Fictionwise and libwise library down
I joined Fictionwise Buywise Club the other week and part of that gives you access to: http://www.libwise.com/fll/

Fictionwise's access to that library is down at the moment and it may not be coming back (I spoke to someone very helpful on the phone at Fictionwise). Fictionwise haven't yet got around to changing the page that mentions libwise so just wanted to make sure other people knew about this.

I didn't join the club just for the library access so whilst I'm disappointed this is not a deal breaker for me. I've been starting to buy and read more books recently so the cost savings made sense to me to join.

Did your 'helpful person' mention why it might not be coming back?

Not exactly. Seemed to relate to the fact that libwise was Mobipocket based (which fictionwise/ereader/Barns-and-Noble [not sure what to call them] do not own the rights to).

Sounds like they eBooks in the library were Overdrive and since Overdrive pulled support from Fictionwise, there you go.

Fixed now
I'm not sure when it was fixed, but libwise has been back up for several days.

Fictionwise is down again:

I just tried it and got this error message"

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Hope it resolves soon.

Earlier today I noticed they had new secure books but not multiformat: now the whole site's down.
