For technical and scientific documents. I use my cybook mainly to read these things. So mobipocket format is really useless for me. It cannot handle the formula and vector legend in a reasonable way. For these one MUST stick to PDF or simply a picture snapshot of the page, else you can never expect what formula comes out of your screen.

The only way to read these documents reasonably with mobipocket is to convert all the formula and so on into picture. This is possible like many scientific publication website. But this is only possible if one has the source file, in Word or LaTeX. Convert into HTML and import those in mobipocket. But one must have the source file in hand, which is usually not available. If one simply convert a PDF scientific paper to mibopocket, it is a disaster.
