Not sure why they don't support the Kindle as a Mobi device. Well, yes I am... Amazon must make more money when they sell a Kindle book than when they sell a Mobi book.
But, it is much nicer to have a reader that supports Mobi now as most of the free stuff out there is in that format... whereas with the Sony I was having to convert almost everything. I currently have 3 ebook software management programs on my machine, Mobi, Sony, Calibre... and hope to be able to drop that down to one. I guess that depends on if I sell the Sony or give it to my son... still not decided on that one.

Although you can move books to Kindle manually this way, I think you lost an important/interesting feature of MObipocket reader. It can automatically grab RSS feed, put together a e-magazine and put it on your device every time you plugged it in. I am using this feature to read Economists, Wired etc for a couple of months already. You can still do the transfer part by hand, but it is just not as convenient as plugging it in for a while in the morning and be ready for the day...
