I'm sure he would also like to not get sued by Fictionwise, BoB, etc. If what I've heard about Mobipocket's agreement with them is correct, Amazon would be in violation if it sold .mobi books at the same low prices. Mobipocket is not supposed to undercut the retailers that license the format. That's why the prices on mobipocket.com are so outrageous.
