I think you're pointing out one of Amazon's greatest motivations to keep mobi. It locks users in, and keeps them in. Even if you crack DRM, there's still only one eReader that can handle mobi. And with every book you buy, you're that much more locked in to Amazon.

"lock in" isn't silly, i've realized. would suck to be "locked in" to a product down the line just to get at your ebooks.

hopefully amazon keeps making great, affordable readers

maybe more devices will be able to run kindle books in the future.
