Also, you can read MOBI books on any device that supports MOBI format, but it looks like Kindle will not be one of them.

Otherwise, I really like the Kindle, but as wallcraft pointed out, people are just not aware of the book vendor lock-in that they are facing for the coming years.
All DRM format ebooks are going to lock you in. Doesn't matter the format. If it has DRM, you are locked in.
