As fr as I am concerned Amazon dug its own grave when it bought Mobi and then went on to make it so Mobi was exclusive and couldnt be put on a device running something like ePub.
Unless Amazon does something soon they are going to be dead in the water as far as potential customers are concerned.
""Hmmmm....what ereader should I buy?? ......Shall I buy the one that lets me read one format in DRM on my reader.... or shall I buy the one that lets me read the format that all the other ereaders can read, get books from the library and also read on my computer if I wish to do so."
Sorry, if Amazon doesnt do something soon then they will die as far as ereaders are concerned. I have a Kindle and I love it! I do however want to buy a reader for my daughter and at the moment buying another Kindle doesnt seem to make sense. How long will it be before ebook sellers decide they are not going to even carry the Mobi format?
Just my tuppence haipny worth
