Interesting. I knew Mobipocket was an older format, but I didn't realize it was technically inferior. OTOH, there seems to be a much wider selection of Mobi books... earlier today, BooksOnBoard showed the following breakdown:
104,782 - Adobe Reader
60,515 - Mobipocket
36,172 - Microsoft LIT
A few of the titles I'm interested in reading are there... in Mobi format only. There also seems to be a lot of stuff available in Adobe format, hence my interest in having DE available as an option.
In any case, content availability is not a huge issue for me. Like I said in my original post, most of my reading consists of public domain works or stuff I already have access to. I'm sure either device would work fine with these materials.
