If they wanted to make the kindle compatible with mobipocket, they would have done so from the beginning. Technicially speaking, no work would be involved, it would only be a matter of turning a switch. The kindle azw files are mobipocket files with a different encryption scheme. The only purpose of the new encryption scheme is to make the two formats incompatible. They put in extra effort to ensure that mobipocket and azw would not be compatible.... and that's why I'll avoid the kindle.
