Based on the success of porting the mobi reader to the iLiad and to Cybook, I'd think it was technically feasible.

During the recent conference call, the Sony rep commented that they were willing to entertain such a move, but that others might not be willing to go along with it -- I took that to mean that the folks who control the mobi reader software may not want their reader on Sony's hardware. Hadrian has apparently commented elsewhere (on TeleRead, I believe it was) that Mobi/Amazon doesn't want its reader app on any device that also has other reader apps on it -- they want mobi only devices rather than mobi & anything else devices.
