OK. If you want to define "success" as "staying afloat", then, yes, MobiPocket, is a "success".
But MobiPocket still sells an insignificant number of eBooks.
Fictionwise sells more than DRMed eBooks. If we are going to talk about DRMed eBooks and business success, Fictionwise can't be in the list.

MobiPocket is not "major DRM."

Hmmm... Interesting. I was not aware of that.
Then I can change my statement to "the CD is an open format" meaning that I can take the content and turn it into something else. Something that is not proprietary (or at least open).
