my options are to not read the book, which is disappointing, or buy a reader that reads another format - and not a sony as it isn't available for sony - just for the books they won't make reasonably available in mobi. or to buy the book in paperback, and at the moment, i REALLY don't feel like spending my money in a way that's being forced on me.

This looks like a pricing error from Mobipocket, either the publisher never told them to lower it, or they missed it. You'd have better luck getting it fixed by posting on Mobipocket's forum and asking them to fix the pricing.
