It has nothing to do with open formats, mobi or otherwise.
And by the way, you made another misstatement: The Kindle supports several open formats. Text, and HTML for example, which accounts for WHOLE lot of available content.
It's not terribly relevant, but it would be nice to have the details stated correctly.

well not that you changing the context of the argument midstream or nothing, sort of like "Calvin Rules" .(from Calvin and Hobbs)
Your argument has always been that you aren't locked in because of Mobi, so when pointed out to you that the selection stinks to high heavem unless you want a math book, you switched context of the argument
That's ok, but I have no argument with you here. If I change ereaders to a Sony or Kobo etc. then I would have the same problem as a kindle owner to the degree of any and all my books would have to stay with my nook. But and here's the big BUT. The fact that the nook orignially supports ePub means all my books that are bought through ePub can come with me.
So as said about 10 post's ago, 40% of my library can come with me as opposed to 0% of the Kindle and I will stand by the fact I think 40% is better than 0% but I feeling a sense of deja vu here. Did we not already go over this ?
