I posted a message on this thread hours ago, to the same effect as what I'm writing now, but it hasn't appeared.

Mobipocket have responded to a message of mine here:
http://www.mobipocket.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9179
Two e-books are available as Kindle Editions but will not be available on Mobipocket. These are not small volume novels, they're both on Booker Prize shortlist. Mobipocket is putting the blame on the publishers, but I think Amazon are behind this.

Right now, I feel that Amazon is bad for the e-book world.
