The MobiPocket app lives on in part as "Kindle for BlackBerry", also in beta but likely to have a future. The Kindle apps are typically much simplified relative to their MobiPocket parent, and I don't know how easy it is to read your own DRM-free MOBIs.
Something I forgot to mention in an earlier post is that B&N Reader for BlackBerry is likely to get ePub support at some point. B&N's ePub migration path is non-transparent, but if they want to stop providing eReader files they have to get all their apps to support ePub.

That's kind of what I figure too, Wallcraft. I do hope B&N's software eventually supports un DRM'd epubs that you sideload, in addition to ones you buy through their store. I was pretty surprised that it didn't already have it, since I have bought epubs from them. I know that on Kindle for PC, it will read your own un DRM'd .mobi files just fine, matter of fact it sort of insists on being the app you use for that (takes over the file association for .mobi). I haven't tried it yet on the Storm.
