Many ereaders use some version of Adobe Digital Editions to render their epubs so viewing using ADE might also be a good preview for epubs.
Mobi on the other hand is converted to epub before calibre's viewer displays it, so to view a mobi file it is best to find another app like Kindle4PC or Mobipocket Reader that will display mobi in its native format.

My last post wasn't clear, not restating that I had looked at the MOBI file in Kindle for Mac. Having seen the difference between this and the view in Calibre generated my questions:

Just how poorly or how well can I expect an EPUB file to be displayed on the many different devices?

which have been answered.
I just downloaded ADE and the EPUB file looks the same as it does in the SONY Reader Library: a blank page is displayed as the cover and the cover image appears on the next page. I loaded the cover in Calibre during the conversion to EPUB. This and a few other issues are still hanging. The topic for this thread is pretty broad and I think it's time now to address the remaining issues individually on separate threads.
Thanks!
