I have some old prc books I bought from Mobipocket. After Amazon bought it and left it for dead I wrote to Amazon asking if there was any way to transfer the books to my Amazon account. They said no. I was much luckier with my ereader/Fictionwise books, almost all of which made it over to B&N.
It wasn't a lot of Mobipocket books, and I've since found Alf anyway, but it killed any warm fuzzies I might have felt for Amazon. I think Kindle books are much safer, but only because so many of them have been sold that there would be a giant uproar if they were abandoned.
