If you really can't get Amazon ebooks onto the Iliad, it sort of makes MobiPocket a dead duck of a format for the Ilaid moving forward, which is a shame ...

It is not the download, you cannot purchase a book if you don't own a Kindle. It is possible to download a Kindle book after the purchase to your computer and then move it over to the Kindle. EVDO is not required.
There is DRM that will not be accepted by Mobi reading devices, only Kindle.
There is no reason to believe MobiPocket is dead. There is no indication that it will be discontinued or affected in any way except the general industry push to get more content which should benefit MobiPocket since once an eBook exists it is easier to get it on other systems and the source files for Kindle and Mobi should be the same meaning no conversion needed.
