that would make sense, particularly since they own mobipocket, *if* they hadn't modified the format so that it's not immediately compatible with other mobi devices, and so that drm-ed mobipockets are not immediately compatible with the kindle (user "workarounds" aside). i admit to being puzzled about their choice there. it doesn't make much sense to me in the long term.
