We took the site offline and reset your password because we recently learned of an attempt to gain access to a Mobipocket server. Files containing name, account name, password, address and e-mail address for some Mobipocket customers were kept on this server. Although we have no evidence that these files were accessed, we changed customer passwords out of an abundance of caution.

Wow, what a bummer! If that was true, wouldn't they be required to make a public announcing giving everyone a chance to learn about that (similar to what recently happened to monster.com?).
