I disagree. The device is going to be created and released, I think Mobipocket would rather than a percentage of the sales (since they own mobi) than none of the book sales that are made to users of these devices.

Yes, the prefer you buy a kindle and 100% kindle books, but secondly they would prefer you are buying mobi books rather than LIT or eReader.
