Doubtful: Mobipocket is part of Amazon.com.

I'd guess they aren't part of Amazon's IT infrastructure, had their own server, and suffered a massive failure on it. Depending upon what they ran, it could take a bit to get replacement hardware (or perhaps a complete new server), and restore from the most recent backup.

I suspect executives at the parent company are asking the Mobi folks some tough questions...
