Feedbooks has good formatting of PD books, TOC with working links, and also they use tabbing and stuff that many other books don't. Their .mobi is good like this. Still there are some books that have special formatting, I can think of Alice in wonderland - the illustrated version has one part where the text winds down like smoke, the only way I have seen this preserved properly is in a PDF. I guess they could use special tabbing or something in a .mobi, or an image file, but I usually just see it as a block of text, without the formatting =(

I would highly suggest against the kindle store, most of their books are just repurposed OCR/scans and have lots of errors and no TOC.
