I think this was a goof on the part of Amazon. When I got my Kindle (the day after it was announced), I checked to see if my installation of Mobipocket would recognize it. It did. I installed it at least 6 months ago, but it recognized the Kindle.
My best guess is that Amazon was using the Mobipocket software to support the Kindle during testing. They probably added it in a 5.something upgrade, and didn't think to remove it until after I announced that it was recognized.
I recently upgraded to 6.1 build 592, and the Kindle is still recognized. I am not going to test it by deleting the entry.
