Given the stories that have circulated about Amazon bring out their own eink reader, I don't think there is any question that MobiPocket will emerge from the current crisis and in the future be a bigger player than they ever were before.
Common wisdom says that ebooks are the future. If they are right for once then Amazon wants to be the dominant player in that market (as they are now in pbook sales.)
The current problems will be quickly forgotten after they are back up and most of the new people Amazon will attract to ebooks will never have heard of the DRM outage.
A sad side note in all this is that unless you already had the MobiPocket reader installed before the servers went down, you cannot install it now as all sites offering MobiPocket point to the MobiPocket site for the free reader software.
