Just to note: Neither the MOBI nor the EPUB formats have evolved significantly for the last two years. IIRC, the only significant changes that Amazon made to MOBI after acquiring Mobipocket was DRM changes and support for indexing.
And EPUB is technically far superior to MOBI. MOBI is fundamentally a 15 year old format (based on HTML 3.2).
The only possible reason Amazon can have to stick with MOBI is wet dreams about monopolies.
