Although Amazon is a big seller (of everything it seems), anyone creating complexly formatted ebooks probably will always go with epub even though sales ops are better with Amazon's format. Thus, I imagine that Amazon's ebooks are limited to simple-formatted novels and such without tables and other complexities.

BTW, I got a Kobo Touch yesterday. I checked out the mobi viewer and must say it is not very good. The ePub viewer is very good though.
I agree that ePub is much better than mobi, but I don't think a 6" eInk device will ever adequately display "tables and other complexities". It is just too small of a screen and whenever someone bumps up the font size those beautiful tables will look like garbage anyway.
