I note that one can always shell out *really* big bucks and buy an iRex iLiad, but I don't think most people here would consider that to be a fiscally sound decision.

This is very true. For most folks I'm sure there will be an advantage to having Mobi as their main format (even if they do have some terrible pricing on some stuff).
I guess personally I don't want to be locked into any DRM'd format that isn't cracked just in case. Mobipocket has a much better chance of being around 10-20 years from now (I want my ebooks to last just as long as my pbooks) format wise since it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Sony does the same thing with their ebook operation that they're doing with their music operation sometime in the future. Me, I'll stick with LIT's that I can convert to whatever format is needed.
