Though I think it matters in this context that without bright and generous folks like igorsk and thedarkreverser out here in the user community, we would not be able to read these files on the Kindle or Amazon books on any thing else. Amazon's intention for its customers is that we don't and it seems to me it was Amazon's treatment of its customers that nairbv was criticizing.
Personally, I wonder if that decision had more to do with Mobipocket's agreements with the bookstores that use their DRM. Mobipocket itself is not allowed to charge less for books than the other sellers. I'm wondering if Amazon might be left open to action from these resellers if it used Mobipocket. I doubt the Kindle would be much of a success if they had to charge full price on every book.
