This is why I don't buy DRMed books. They cost practicaly the same as paper books, their use is much more restricted, they are less user friendly and they can stop working any time. Paper books don't stop working when you change their cover or some (I can't use the words I have on my mind) decide that I lost my right to read them. And please, don't even start that I don't buy a book but a licence to read it - that's not an answer why I should not be able to use it, it's just another way how to squeeze more money from law abiding people - the rest will get it without DRM and for free on some P2P network. And I really can't hold it against them.
This mobi support looks to me like if you traveled by plane, it's captain decide to kick you out in the middle of the flight. And if you won't cause any trouble, maybe we will give you a parachute.
I understand that in our time, eReaders without DRM have severe handicap, at least for people who really buy books online, but I hope that DRM will be a thing of the past very, very soon.
