Mobipocket's website down?

I have been trying to download an mobipocket ebook from fictionwise for the past few days with no luck. During the download process apparantly fictionwise links to mobipocket and it appears that Mobipocket' s website is down.

Does anyone have any news about this?

It was mentioned over at JKontherun... no reason given.. it was just bugging him that he couldn't skype or buy any ebooks.
This week I have been mostly listening to..... Short cummings audio

I was going to buy a Mobipocket format book from Fictionwise and noticed the message below. Was about ready to start one more rant thread about DRM, but anyway, here's what Fictionwise has to say:

Quote:
NOTICE: A major problem occurred with the Mobipocket DRM server at about 6:30 PM Eastern Time, Wednesday, August 15. Engineers at Mobipocket.com have informed us that they hope to be back online sometime this weekend, August 18 or 19. We have switched, where possible, all Secure Mobipocket files purchased during the downtime to an alternative DRM provider, Content Reserve. We have also taken all titles that could not be switched offline in Mobipocket format until the problem is resolved.

So, at this point in time, any Secure Mobipocket title you see onsale can be downloaded immediately. Titles that cannot be downloaded immediately have been temporarily taken offsale in the Secure Mobipocket format.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and we will post a new message when the problem is resolved.

Nice, huh? We want to buy and/or get what we paid for, nice & legal, but in the name of DRM, we can't have it.
