Not so bad since other competent apps exist for the alternate formats. And the reading experiences are similar enough it doesn't much matter. And its not as the ePub apps even bother with Mobi support. Amazon isn't doing anything the others (Kobo/Borders, B&N, etc) aren't doing.
On my PB IQ I use Kindle to read the Mobi formats and access the Kindle store.
For DRM-free ebooks I have a choice of Aldiko 1.2.xx, FBreaderJ, Coolcalc3, and the PBReader app.
For Library ebooks (and audiobooks) I have the Overdrive app.
If I cared to buy Adobe ADEPT DRM'ed epubs I could install Aldiko 2.0 or the upcoming Sony app. (Or wait for the finalized PBReader.)
To access my Fictionwise buys, I have eReader.
The only thing keeping the IQ from being a universal reader is LIT support. If only Stanza would show up on Android...
