What Moe said. I maintain my library in both Mobi and ePub formats, and I avoid Topaz books, as they don't allow my doing so without a great deal of work. I make only
extremely rare exceptions for must-read titles.
I'd also add that some Topaz books are horribly formatted and a real PITA to read on the Kindle. As I only own a few, all purchased back in the Kindle 1 days, this may have improved -- I can't say.

It involves both dedrming the file and OCRing the page images. Non-Topaz Amazon files are much easier to convert and read on other devices.
