There is a strong incentive for MobiPocket itself to pick up these orphan e-book sales. If they don't, it is likely that someone will produce software to add PIDs to existing MOBI e-book files and many people will argue that this is "fair use" (legal or not) when a retailer goes out of business. Once it is in the wild, such software would not only be used by Paperback Digital customers.
