MobiPocket (Amazon) requires DRM exclusivity to allow MOBI on a dedicated reading device.
I like the "support everything" approach, but the "do one format well" approach can also work. This is what Sony started out with, and what the Kindle still has. This implies off-line format shifting, which Sony did not do but Calibre supplies.
