I'm thinking mostly about navigation, headings and fonts. I'm guessing that images will be basically the same.

Would there be any reason to produce mobipocket versions for each device?

Thanks for your help.
Um. If I understand right, Kindle supports unsecured Mobipocket (I think the .azw format is just mobipocket with a new DRM, actually) so I would expect navigation and headings to be the same. Kindle has only two fonts, so that would probably not be the same. The eInk screens on Kindle and Sony are exactly the same (except the Sony uses a different control chip, but in terms of pixels wide and pixels high they are exactly the same). I think the Cybook Gen 3 uses the same screen as well, but I'm not sure about that.
