It is true that mobi7/KF8 can be easily converted to ePub, but it would be nice to have a 3rd party app that can render them natively and kick Amazon in the backside as far as features go.

And Amazon will license their DRM to all and sundry, just like that?
How is an indie gong to support Amazon formats without the DRM support from Amazon?
If you take the trouble to remove DRM from MOBI/KF8 books, converting to EPub is pretty much a given then.
