Can you give any specifics on how epub is 'richer?' I've never read the two specs, but from what little I've read about them (
wikipedia, yech), both mobi and epub seem to be based on the same Open EBook content format. I do see mention that mobi has a 64KB limit on images, and presumably epub can hold bigger ones, but other than that?
Here is the respose from O'Reilly:
"The ePub and Mobi formats are pretty similar, so either one of those should be fine. There isn't a reason that I'm aware of that one is better than the other."
