My guess ('cause I don't know) is that when Amazon bought the company, some kind of legal thing was set up to allow MobiPocket to continue to exist and sell product (maybe for a few years, maybe forever). In order for that to work, they have to operate in a way that keeps them separate (at least for the general population).
