"I think that once we can get rid of Mobi..." Who is "we?" The only way Mobi disappears is if 1) Amazon voluntarily kills it, which would be insane or 2) people stop purchasing Amazon books. Are either of those scenarios likely? The second one could happen but there isn't any signs of that happening yet. We'll let the market decide.
