As JSWolf says, the problem is the DRM. The simple answer for you is to not buy ebooks from the MObipocket ebook store. ALL books (to the mest of my knowledge) submitted to Mobipocket also appear on the Kindle store within a few days. So just buy them from there.
And yes, it is incredibly silly for Kindle to use the Mobipocket format and Mobipocket DRM, and yet not let you use DRMed Mobipocket books.
There are two possible solutions to reading your DRMed Mobipocket book.
One is to find the Kindlefix tools, and use that on your Kindle serial number to find your Kindle's Mobipocket PID. It might be that you can enter that at Mobipocket web site and re-download your book.
The other is to strip the DRM from the book using mobidedrm, but to do that you'll need to have the PID for the book. If you've installed the Mobipocket software on your computer, it's probably the PID of that software installation.
