Sorry, but that is simply not true... There's lots of Mobipocket books still available on beam-ebooks.de.

I'd prefer the industry to adopt ONE standard for eBooks (if it's Mobi, ePUB or whatever) that is at least as good as all the existing formats (so no dictionary support of ePUB is kind of problematic).

The current situation reminds me of all the other format wars (VHS/Beta/Video 2000, DVD-R/+R, BlueRay/HD-DVD etc.)...
