I think you missed the point. The point is that Mobipocket is an obsolete format. Just because Amazon chooses to use it doesn't mean it's not obsolete.

It's helping to keep the eBook market fragmented. What we need to do is get Amazon off of Mobipocket and then we need to get rid of DRM. Then it will just be a case of which device you like better as they'd all be format compatible with ePub. Please, let's move forward, not backwards.
