I don't like what happened - but I'm glad to see eReader support coming to E-ink. The one thing eReader has going for it over Mobi right now is iPhone support, adding an E-ink device can only help matters.
One reason is that I really don't like Mobi's DRM because of the way it's tied to the device. Other DRM formats allow you to use your existing files on a new device but Mobi doesn't. Adobe and MS require you to authorize the new device for existing files, which is slightly better, but only eReader lets you transfer your existing files to a new device without outside intervention.
I think it's a better system and I'm glad to see that Astak is going to be supporting it.
