Here's the question:

Given (1) and (2), which is more likely? Getting one manufacturer to change, or getting every other manufacturer to change?
I dont see others accepting Mobi, since Amazon prevents devices from supporting Mobi's DRM as well as another type of DRM. You either get to not support it, or only support it.
