I think the number of e-readers left that support .mobi is very few, if any.

Amazon owns the .mobi format and will not let an ereader manufacturer support both DRM .mobi and DRM .epub, so the makers were forced to choose one or the other (I remember many Bookeen owners here being upset when Bookeen switched to .epub).

Some still support the non-DRM .mobi (Jetbook does, I believe), but that's not library compatible.
