I wonder why no Ebook readers read DRM lit at present. Maybe Microsoft don't want any support ?
I guess it is not a big issue if you only buy from Amazon but having multiple formats available to you bring competition hence price reductions.

Actually HTML can be read natively as well. All you need to do is change the extension to TXT. If you download the Windows Mobipocket you will find that it is a perfect conversion program for content for Kindles. It converts about as well as the online service.
Microsoft doesn't seem to want their reader running on any OS that is not from Microsoft.
