For "normal" users differences between ePUb and MOBI are zero (besides public libraries and lending, of course). The novel reads exactly the same on any of the popular devices: Nook or Kindle. Minor differences in layout and available fonts, especially on complex books with graphics and tables, can be noticed (there is a thread here about it) but really small differences and won't traduce on bad formatting or a book that is more difficult to read.

Actually I found the biggest reason for loving ePub is not so much library lending (though very compelling) but the ability to shop anywhere and take advantages of deals, promotions and such. Anyone who buys from Kobo know exactly what I'm talking about.

you save so much money by having ePub and the ability to shop anywhere you want.
