but if you want your Nora Robert's books or a Dean Koontz etc unless you are willing to strip you are confined to Amazon only.

why is it so difficult for kindle owners to admit this fact?
That has nothing to do with mobi format but the user's preference and bookstore's selection. I cannot blame B&N for not selling computer books or the most popular ones.

Most bestsellers are in Amazon already. I have never face the case that I can't find something for Kindle but I can on B&N. It depends of the user and doing cross check between stores is a complete waste of time because what I like, you don't or vice-verse and we won't validate anything.
