I think it's clear from the rest of the OP that he's specifically talking about the Big Four bookstores - B&N, Amazon, Sony, Kobo.
But, yes, you're right - if he buys non-DRM'd mobi books somewhere, he can read those on a Kindle.
He seems to be seeking a single-source seller/device that will provide backwards compatibility with his existing library, and (a) there is no "single-source" non-DRM mobi store that I know of where you can get access to the majority of, say, NYT bestsellers, and (b) Amazon will not provide backwards compatibility with his library unless he strips the DRM off his Sony books.
So, there's that.
