Who died and left Mobipocket in charge?
Sounds to me like you are presenting a personal preference and making it seem "universal" when in fact, it is not.
I don't even like the Mobipocket software/reader and haven't purchased a single book from them in over three years.
The are not my "de facto," "got to" source for anything.
If we are going to pick "standards" then I'd opt for eReader a lot sooner than Mobipocket.
But I wouldn't suggest eReader be shoved down people's throats either. Obviously people will prefer one over the other - or some new thing not yet created.
People should be free to use whatever solution works for them.
