I did not talk about anything. It was another person. I just think that if you say that something is misinformation and corrects it the correction should not contain any misinformation. As a general principle.

Compare my paper books, all of which I'm still able to read with as little difficulty as their original audiences even though some are more than a century old. This will be a DRM good/bad-type debate, though, and offtopic here. |

Mobi are, to repeat, one of the oldest names in the business. They are highly unlikely to go "belly up". It's a chance I'm willing to take. If you aren't, the solution is simple - don't buy books from them; nobody is forcing you to. We all have to make an informed choice about these matters.

If maybe they allowed the Kindle to read DRM'd MOBI files, that would show some commitment to the format but more importantly the customer. As it stands, I think Mobipocket would be more appealing to me if Amazon sold it, that way it could be controlled by someone who had not basically just released a replacement to it. I think I will go with the Sony just because they have said they will support epub and digital editions. By supporting an alternative DRM'd format, I think this shows commitment to the consumer and I trust Adobe having used their products for a long time. If Bookeen announce a date for epub support and that they will support digital editions, then I might be tempted, but I think the Sony is the nicer device of the two.
