Really? I thought Mobipocket insisted on DRM.

Section 1.E of the publishers' agreement includes the sentence:

"In the event of a sale of Publisher's Digital Content, eBookBase will apply commercially reasonable Digital Rights Management (DRM) services to the product."

I'd be delighted to find that it was possible to supply non-DRM ebooks through Mobipocket.
