I was curious to see how Amazon handles Mobipocket ebooks for the Kindle. Turns out
they've added a category under Books called Kindle Books that can be searched, and at least
part of what's searched is the Mobipocket catalog, fully integrated into the Amazon website.
As they say, "For your convenience you can shop the Kindle Store on Kindle or on your PC via
Amazon.com -- either way, all titles are wirelessly delivered right to your Kindle for free. We
pay for the wireless delivery charges so you don't have to." When you search the Kindle
books and get a list of titles, each one says "Auto-delivered wirelessly to Kindle." I presume
you can buy them with One-Click Shopping for the ultimate in convenience. It will be
interesting for those of us who publish ebooks in Mobipocket format to see if the real-time
sales reports show Amazon purchases--it seems like they should, but I suppose they could
also be tracked separately.
