If you're a new ereader owner, pretty much everything that's out there on the Mobipocket website is available through the Amazon Kindle store... and then some. So, there is no disadvantage to new readers.

If you're an existing ereader owner with a big collection of .MOBI DRM ebooks, the Kindle is probably not the device for you. The Sony would be a better choice... or even the iRex iLiad (my pref).
If I had an existing library of .mobi DRMed files, I'd be way more attracted to the Cybook than the Sony. I'd be in the same pickle with the Sony that I would be with the Kindle.
