Only if you have colour / grayscale images will 'mobi2imp' make a better .IMP version.
Also, the 'margins' and 'text-justification' can be better controlled in the mobi2imp (especially if you are using just the mobi2imp.pl perl script and not the windows binaries).
By the way, there is another
fix (see my
TIP: thread) that allows some margin settings to survive in the .imp version. But it is somewhat cumbersome.
With mobi2imp, just beware that you're stuck with any inconsistencies (if any) introduced by the .prc/.mobi original when converting over. However, 'mobi2imp' also creates a .opf that can be loaded into eBook Publisher and from there you can further edit/build it.
All in all, I like the output of mobi2imp. Unfortunately, I don't have much hands-on experience using BD, so I really can't say which is better.
We are on the right track though...
How exactly do you prepare the 3 popular formats of an ebook? If you make three successive calls to 'Make eBooks', then there is not much time to save by only making two successive calls to 'Make eBooks' and one mobi2imp invocation.
