What neither Mobipocket nor ePub can do is have lines of poetry be left-aligned, but any excess be right-aligned on the next line. Which is what you really want in lines of poetry.

One can get fairly good effects in both by using large negative first line indents.


But ePub is the far superior format, even just for text formatting purposes. You can't have Drop caps in Mobipocket at all. You can't have true smallcaps in Mobipocket.
