Fictionwise, which was launched in 2000 and acquired by Barnes & Noble in 2009, is in the process of winding down operations, with Fictionwise.com (including eReader.com and eBookwise.com) ending sales December 4. Customers will not be able to access the Fictionwise Bookshelf after December 21. In an e-mail to customers Friday, Fictionwise offered step-by-step opt-in instructions "to transfer your Fictionwise.com Bookshelf to a Nook Library." Once the e-books are transferred, they will be in ePub format.
From Shelf Awareness
Just another reason/example of why eReaders aren't as great as everyone thinks they are. What happens to your content when a company closes? Here there is a transfer but what if there wasn't?
