Amazon own Mobipocket. They still get your money whether you buy your books from Amazon directly or from MobiPocket. The benefit of buying from MobiPocket is that you can also read your books on any of the other devices which support the Mobi format.

Ummm.
1. If you by a DRM'd mobi from anyone, even with the PID from the kindle it DOES NOT WORK. The format is *changed* to the Kindle format. I've read the source code.
The Book IS NOT AUTHORIZED. If it were authorized, then the file would not have to be *made to work* Harry.
Amazon runs mobi as a separate business. Mobi's money is mobi's money and the Kindle store's money is the Kindle Store's money.
Sounds like you are justifying "stealing" from the Kindle store because you already "own" a copy of the book in a non-Kindle format
Where have I heard this before.
Either it is or it ain't.
Pot. Kettle. Howdy!
