I wish we had someone here who knew the agreement in detail. I just hear it referred to from time to time. I don't know if Mobipocket and Amazon are separate enough to discourage a lawsuit. I'm not a lawyer so I can't even make an educated guess. I've just wondered about it all this time because otherwise it seems a bit silly to make a new format, not have a desktop reader, not support DRM-ed Mobipocket as a format, etc. Even if they didn't want to sell to anyone but Kindle owners to encourage people to buy Kindles, they seem to be trying to achieve degree of separation between the two retail streams and reading platforms.
