I love my iLiad, but nobody I know has every heard of it.

And I am Technology Director, so I run in tech circles.

Now all of that does not guarantee that MobiPocket is dead, but it should be a wake up call.
MobiPocket makes most of its money by licensing I believe. Other people sell MobiPocket books cheaper than MobiPocket does. they don't want to be in competition with their dealers.

If MobiPocket dies for the reasons you list then everybody else will to.
