Whilst I acknowledge the value of mobipocket as a file format, I guess I wasn't clear as to my issues with it - namely how it is provided. So let me explain
As an non-DRMed file format, mobipocket works well enough, and I have no compunctions about using it - heck, I used it back when it was widely known as .pdb! :P My issues with mobipocket is more about how it is "managed" by Mobipocket, and especially the DRM on it.
I mean - I wouldn't mind buying a mobipocket book for my device, if I could read it on the Mac as well, and also use mobipocket books alongside Jinke's WOLF format (yeah, I know, there's no english books, but it's an example!) on my V2. Can anyone honestly say for a moment "Yes, it'll be possible to read DRMed Mobipocket on my Sony, alongside my BBeB books one day"?
