Not good!
Amazon has killed the Mobipocket format here in Europe by not allowing Mobipocket DRM and Epub DRM together on a reader. As most European bookstores just sell the Epub format readers have to support that one. Because of this readers. that used to support Mobipocket DRM have all switched to Epub DRM. This means that there is not much demand for Mobipocket format anymore.
