for the OP:
Seriously, mobi is an inferior and doomed format. It is like Netscape 4. It is finicky, doesn't support many features which epub does and doesn't have good docs. (Josh Tallent's book on kindle formatting is good, but out-of-date). Its support for CSS is limited and its handling of images is terrible. Without floats or borders (supported by epub, not by Kindle), there's not a lot you can do.
The only reason it is still around is that Amazon has 50% of the ebook market now and we have to "downconvert" epub files so that kindlegen can convert them to Kindle.
