Even if a Kindle customer buys Mobipocket content from Amazon, Amazon still gets a cut because they own Mobipocket. I still think this is an odd decision for Amazon to have made. The only rationale that makes sense to me that I've heard so far is that they want people to have the experience of books formatted specifically for the Kindle (in terms of graphics), rather than buying a Mobi book somewhere with teeny unreadable graphics and getting mad at the device.
