I'm not sure I would say that mobi is the iRex iLiad's primary format. The iLiad only got support for mobi fairly recently, and only (I assume) because it's the de facto ebook standard and iRex wants to support it.

The iLiad's primary format is pdf -- it was supported since day one. The iLiad can't reflow pdfs, but with its larger screen and stylus navigating letter/A4-sized pdfs is not too difficult, and they display pretty well.
