Mobipocket (owned by Amazon as you likely know) has a deal with bookstores that sell .mobi books that they will not undercut their prices. If you want a .mobi book, you can go to other stores to buy them. If you want to buy a .mobi book through Amazon (mobipocket.com), be prepared to pay the highest price. If Amazon offered best sellers in .mobi for $9.99 I'm sure they'd find themselves in court pretty quickly.
