Mobipocket, with all due respect I don't understand your problem here. As far as I see it, uBook is not breaking any DRM scheme. How can it be forbidden to support an e-book format without breaking any kind of protection? For instance, look how many people have reverse engineered the Adobe Acrobat format, which at least to my knowledge, has never been made officially public. Is Adobe suing the Open-source community, or one of those third party PDF-generation companies now? Not that I have heard of.

You say it is not allowed to reverse engineer the format due to some text in your EULA; do you know that in many countries, such as Germany, the End User Agreement is not worth anything UNLESS you receive it first in a) PRINTED form and b) at the time when you actually BUY the product -- in which case it requires my signature (and not just a mere mouse click of mine) to make the contract valid.

Anyways, I like your reader; but I also like uBook a lot which seems to be getting better and better!
