What do you mean by same format? There is no specification of the format so you can not say that they have promised to be compatible always. The thing is they can update the firmware in the Kindle and start releasing awz-books that cannot be read in a MobiPocket reader even if you remove the DRM. The claim that it is the same formt will fool people in believing that the two formats will be compatible forever.

Mobipocket itself now allows larger images.

Were have you read that? I could not find that on their web site when i looked a while ago.

The image problem is a bit different in that the mobipocket format supports 3 different sized images for different sized devices.

They support different images sizes. But the data for the image cannot be larger than around 60KB anyway. The different sizes it to avoid having to rescale the image.
The point is that the only readers that have to be able to read awz files are the readers that Amazon have full control over. So they can get away with being incompatible with MobiPocket.
