They sell their Mobipocket formated ebooks the same way - only via wispernet. I would like the "Zoe's Tale" which they sell as Mobipocket.
Also the only IMO for them to have come out with their new, proprietary format was to make people buy the Kindle. There were already plenty of perfectly good formats available but this way, and the purchase of Mobipocket, they can offer books cheaper that only Kindle owners can buy or use while forcing the other users of Mobipocket to either do without or buy at a higher price.
