Conversion usually works fine, but occasionally I get converted mobis where the indents/margins are all messed up and I have to manually edit the stylesheet or even all the *.HTML files to fix. PitA.
I want mobi to go away because I suspect right now publishers are all targeting the lowest common denominator, ie mobi, in order to simplify and save money. It'd be like all web sites were still targeting IE3. ePub ain't the be all and end all; it's just the better of the two and what we have now.
