If you have more than one reader, and one of those is a WinCE one, you're almost required to crack DRM. So, when I bought my Sony (which is my first device that I use regularly that doesn't support mobipocket), I didn't care at all that it didn't support mobipocket. I had removed the DRM from my books and the conversion from mobipocket to epub is easy (besides, I reformat them into PDF anyway, so I can read the same books on my Mini as on my Sony, page number wise).

I've read about a lot of readers that have firmware that is not optimal regardless of the hardware.
If i read the device is constantly rebooting, I might care. Otherwise, who cares, if it does what it is supposed to do: show books...
