Mobipocket Closes Its eBookstore
Earlier this month one of the pioneers in eBooks shut down their eBookstore and got ready to turn off the lights. MobiPocket, after 12 years in the business, is no longer selling eBooks.
When Mobipocket launched, it quickly became one of the 3 common eBook formats, along with MSReader and eReader. It was a moderately successful company right up until 2005, when it was purchased by Amazon. That sale marked the beginning of the end. As you can probably guess from the launch and explosive success of the Kindle, Amazon bought Mobipocket in order to turn it into the Kindle platform.
