Yes there is - their own commercial interest. They paid a lot of money for MobiPocket, and Mobi books sell world-wide. It is perhaps easy for people in the US to overestimate the influence of the Kindle and the Amazon eBook store - outside the US they are a total irrelevence. The MobiPocket business is world-wide. It would be commercial idiocy for Amazon to do anything but encourage its growth.
