My understanding is that Mobi insist on "exclusivity" as far as DRM-protected books go. ie, if a device can read DRM-protected Mobi books, then it can't support (built-in, at least) any other DRM format.
There is no eBook reader on the market that I'm aware of (excluding things like Tablet PCs) which can read DRM-protected PDF files. The iLiad can handle password-protected PDFs, but not DRM-d ones.
