While that may be "technically" true... pratically it is not.

Practically:
1. You can NOT read a DRMed MobiPocket book on a Kindle
2. You can NOT read a Kindle book on any device but a Kindle.

Those are the practical facts for the majority of customers. Yes, for a SMALL SMALL number of users that want to dig in, hack, use converters you can possibly do number one (1) above.
