Books on Board gets MOBI ebooks from both OverDrive and MobiPocket. FictionWise only gets them from MobiPocket. I checked their bestsellers and a couple were available in MOBI "OD" but none in MOBI "PX" (MobiPocket). So it might be that BoB has dropped MobiPocket as a supplier of new titles.

Note that if OverDrive had dropped MOBI, that would be bad news for MOBI lending library ebooks.
