not necessarily ; the trend among european publishers starting to offer ebooks seems to be to publish in epub format ; Hachette for example has partnered with the Fnac for the launch of the sony in france, and they offer only epub ebooks (there is also PanMacMillan but they publish english language books so it's not really relevant). mobipocket is still common among older publishers but i don't think there are very many non-english language ones.
