So does the file size. I guess epub uses a better compression, they are usually only about 70% of the size of a mobi file. Again, not an issue on a case by case basis, but after awhile it adds up.
And simply working with epub is a lot better than mobi. Spot a typo in an epub? Fire up sigil and fix it. There's nothing like that for mobi.

What you can do with mobi is convert to html to edit. MobiPerl does this, and it is free:

You use mobi2html to explode the mobi file. It is easy. I've done it. Then convert back to mobi with Calibre or with html2mobi in MobiPerl
