For now. Astak will presumably support eReader and Adobe Digital Editions, and any EInk device running WinCE (e.g. Plastic Logic) can probably do an end-run around MobiPocket's DRM exclusivity requirement.

All MobiPocket titles can be sold at Amazon's discretion on the Kindle (its in MobiPocket's standard contract with publishers), but most Kindle ebooks are not MobiPocket titles. It is the case that most Kindle ebooks are using the MOBI format and MOBI DRM, but that does not mean that Amazon has the right to sell them to everyone as MobiPocket ebooks.
