Or they could say, here is our eBook on the Kindle, but it look not nearly as good as our eBook in ePub. Blame Amazon for that one.
I have been wondering whether Amazon might at some point shift to ePub, simply due to technical limitations in the MobiPocket format. You can do things in ePub you can't do in Mobi.

I don't see it happening any time soon, but I can see publishers issuing ebooks that simply can't be done as Mobi files, and what Amazon's response might be.
