But you won't be able to open Mobi books with Digital Editions or visa versa. I can appreciate people's reservations about being tied into the products of one company but at least the software will be available for a number of platforms so you aren't tied into one piece of hardware.

You'll only be able to open a MobiPocket book in different devices if you downloaded it witht he PID put in the file. If you download a MP book for your cell phone and later on buy an iLiad, that book won't work on the iLiad. You'd have to go back to the shop and redownload it so it has the iLiad's PID in it. DRM is a hassle.
