We suggest you open a support ticket at Amazon.com asking them to change this policy. They could very easily allow other retailers like Fictionwise to sell Secure Mobipocket titles onto the Kindle device. Amazon.com allows other print-book merchants to sell through Amazon's site, so why shouldn't they allow other merchants to sell eBooks onto Kindle?
So the offering is not as all inclusive as one might hope...but seems a solid step in the correct direction for sure. But as long as there is going to be DRM there needs to be a standard DRM format and policy for device portability.

Buy isn't the same issue for a Sony Reader? They have their own DRM as well...
