Don't know when it happened but it seems mobipocket finally closed it doors.

After years of neglect, the last software released January 2009, the support closed in June 2009 it does not come as much of a surprise. We all knew it would happen.

But then again, Amazon did not really close the doors and put up the “Sorry we are closed” sign.

No Amazon just had shelves been cleared of purchasable books but leave the shop open so customers are free so browse the now empty shelves.

Tech Talk: The database has been wiped but the web page is still on-line displaying “Your search did not render any hist”.

The download section for books already bought is also still functional. As are the Forums — but they have been swamped by SPAM.

As it is it is a another sad chapter to the already sad story. Another time where Amazon did not to the proper thing to do. That's: Close Mobipocket for good and transfers all purchases over to the Kindle shop.
