I like your view.
I believe 'intent' has to apply as well. If the intent was to get a Mobipocket-enabled device to market and they operated in-good-faith that they were not violating GPL, then I think they should be cut some slack. At least long enough to decide how to remedy the situation and then implement the remedy.
