Ooops forgot this part of your posting.
Name one library that can deliver a Kindle Application on iPhone PID'd Mobipocket file to the one and only iPhone for that PID? Name one distributor?
No one can.
Amazon has provided no means to deliver content to the application other than directly from their ebook store.
Did you see this posting over on TUAW?

How many babies go hungry to "protect my freedom's" Igor? How many hungry babies can you handle crying in your dreams at night?
The entire planet is in economic free fall because a few people abused power and ignored responsibility. Now
billions are suffering for it.
I can't fix the world economic collapse or people pirating iPhone apps to let babies go hungry but I can stand up
here and say "DMCA circumvention tool". It's a key generator Igor, plain and simple. Dress it up anyway you want but it's intent is a key generator to facilitate breaking protected digital content.
The fact that it is easily circumvented isn't the point. The point is you aren't supposed to circumvent it. It's like the police tape around a crime scene. Anyone can lift the tape and go under it but once you do you can't claim "Uh, I'm not supposed to be in here? I was looking for the bathroom?"
Did breaking Fair Play get all my iTunes music set free Igor? No, it didn't. Getting the publishers to relent did. But as I said earlier: we ain't got leverage on the book publishers. Push 'em hard enough and they just sell only paper books. And the government men with guns will do their duty and protect the rights of the publishers to do just that.
The point is to change things so there is no need for DRM. I thought you understood... but I guess I was wrong.
