As JSWolf says, MobiPocket Creator and mobigen.exe import a limited subset of HTML+CSS and produce a highly simplified HTML for the MOBI file. A better place to look for examples would be an ePub ebook. These can be "exploded" by renaming the .epub to .zip and unzipping. Another possiblity is Kindle Formatting: The Complete Guide. In fact, there is a DRM-free ePub version of the Kindle Formatting ebook, which might itself be a good example of ebook layout.
