It coudn't end any other way.... I've seen that comming the day i learned about bookeen switching to ePub, and the reasons behind the no mobi support. Americans are taking the worse of it. Unless amazon switch to ePub (we can dream right !) , it will end with sony using ePub, amazon using mobi. Ouch !
Mobipocket had a huge opportunity to make real headway and become the #1 eBook format. Sony wanted to add Mobipocket to their Readers and Mobipocket said no. If Mobipocket has allowed this, ePub would not be a big deal right now. Way to kill off what could have made your business very successful. Mobipocket is commuting a slow self-made death.
