You make good points. But, when Google argues to the FTC that MS merging with Google would be "bad" for consumers what they really means is it would be bad for Google since MS and Yahoo combined would be better able to compete with Google.

Anyway... I guess Astak's best recourse here is to say to Amazon... we are producing a reader, we are including eReader, ePub and MS LIT support on it. We would like to include Mobi support also, however, if you are not interested we will be happy to ship it without that support which would reduce the number of devices that could use a MobiPocket format. Which means less MobiPocket format sales, our customers will choose LIT or eReader or ePub. Call us if you cange your mind.
