a quick ping reveals that IP is one of the ones mobileread.com uses. They probably have a pool of IP addresses mobileread.com resolves to, so bookmarking that IP specifically is pointless.
The reason you're asked to login when you go directly through the website IP address instead of a domain name is because the 'cookie' that 'remembers you' is associated with mobileread.com, not a specific IP.
