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.

OK, so you need to use a tool for DRM-protected books. But there are goodness knows how many DRM-free Mobi (and Kindle) books around, and these can be freely swapped between Kindle and Mobi devices. Kindle books ARE Mobi books.
