Do I "know it for sure"... well no. However, I do know that there are ebooks available on the Kindle store that are not available anywhere else. I also know that I can access any other store that a non-Kindle owner can access.
But, I can say this, if there is a contemporary ebook available which is protected by DRM and it is available in somewhere its in the Kindle store too.
That said, there is no way to know 100% what books are available for each device in it's natively supported format/DRM scheme.
I would turn it around to you... can you point out ebooks that are available with a DRM that the Kindle does not support which are not in the Kindle store?
The bottom line is, I don't have to worry about not being able to get content for my Kindle. Even if mobipocket goes away, that does NOT affect a Kindle owner.
