If they are in the business of selling books why would they care? They allow other online vendors to sell Mobipocket formatted books and they allow other vendors to run Mobipocket readers on their devices. Maybe this is the business model they inherited when they purchased Mobipocket but I haven't seen them reverse it yet.

They might be trying to hardball Sony into giving up their BBEB format but I'm not on the inside to know. I haven't seen Sony allow anyone else to sell their BBEB format or allow it to run on other readers.
