Actualy, we already had lots of devices supporting .mobi – before Amazon bought Mobipocket. Amazon killed them all off in favour for Kindle. Now that Amazon killed them all why would Amazon allow them back?

Don't kid yourself: If Amazon wins the format war then Amazon will become the Evil Monopolistic Overlord of eBook business.

Hint: not the format is important - the DRM scheme is. Who holds the DRM encryption servers holds all the power.
