That shows how observant I am. Thanks.

It could be that they didn't want the two sites to compete for the same business, and so the guy in charge of the Mobipocket site had enough pull to make his site the preferred one. Sales also might have been poor when you could see the price of a new ebook side by side with a used pbook.
