This is true. My mother has a Sony reader and I wouldn't tell her that she can read Amazon or B&N books on the reader.

Kobo and other Adobe DRM seems to work fine, though.

That is how I was interpreting the OP -- I understood him to be asking about reading big store books without having to strip DRM or convert.

(Out of curiosity, where are these Mobi stores that sell un-DRM'd Mobi files that can be easily loaded to the Kindle? I'd like to point my Amazon Kindle friend to those.)
