I agree with that. The problem is DRM. Once that nut is cracked mobi is ubiquitous enough to convert to pretty much any format. Just as if you COULD by ePub (DRM FREE) it could easily be converted to mobi to be read on the Kindle.

On the other side of the coin, if an iPod came out without MP3 support there would be quite an uproar. Even though AAC is actually superior format.
