Did they just re-open to new publisher accounts? And if so, do they still offer a channel to Amazon/Kindle? We do have a Mobipocket account, opened years ago, and we get into Kindle via that route (but we had to sign a separate contract and they pay separately from the Mobi sales.) I believe in a few months Amazon is set to change the Kindle terms (for those using their site directly) and raise the publisher/author percentage. I'm wondering if they'll contact the publishers using the Mobi route or if we'll have to start all over again, via their site, to get the larger share for ebook sales.

While it still works fine for publishers already distributed through MobiPocket, it is no longer an option for anyone else.
