Yes, that makes some sense.
And they probably did not simply use the Mobi format because they wanted to be the exclusive seller of Kindle books. So they needed a new format...

So, basically, Mobipocket is, as far as Amazon is concerned, doomed...

Is it just me that sees a future with just AZW and Epub (and, for some applications and devices, PDF)?
