It is a book. It has words, in sentences, in paragraphs. The fact that it doesn't support nice things like dropped caps and flowing around images don't seem to really matter, does it?
If it did, Amazon would just bring out a better format of it, or switch to ePub and wrap it in their own DRM. And the situation would be exactly the same as it is now.

They may if what I'm hoping comes to pass comes to pass. I'm hoping that the Harry Potter eBooks in ePub take advantage of features that Mobipocket just can't handle and that would make people wake up and see the differences. For example, if the ePub used font embedding to do it like the pBook did. If the ePub is done well, I can see reviews comparing them. And heck, I can see kids wanting their parents to then get a reader that isn't a Kindle.
