They do carry the merchandise you want. You just have to take a few minutes to download some software to convert it so it can be used on your device.
It is rare that you see Amazon people calling for BN, Kobo, or Sony to sell Mobi. I normally only mention it when the EPub crowd wants Amazon to sell EPub.
I have a very simple take on all of this. People chose a device that could not read books sold by Amazon. Either download the software to read the books or be happy with the stores that you chose.
Asking Amazon to change their business model so you can buy books for a device that they do not support is a bit silly. To me it sounds like people feel that they are entitled to buy ebooks from Amazon even when they chose to buy a competing product. It is like going into McDonalds and demanding that they sell a Whopper.
