It would be incredibly easy for Amazon to support DRMed MOBI and PRC e-books, including MobiPocket library books. This might only require a 1-line change in the Java source code for the Kindle Reader application. Perhaps it is as much as 5 lines - it is certainly less than one days work for a single programmer including rigorous testing. They are not doing so purely for marketing reasons. |

It's not quite that simple. A Mobi file has a "Publisher" field, and it appears that the Kindle also checks this and won't display a DRM-encoded file which wasn't sold by Amazon. This check would also need to be removed.
