The real answer is, it shouldn't really matter unless you need to go under the hood and modify the formatting.

When I had my CyBook Opus, I became very familiar with the innards of ePub. It seemed that almost every book I bought had serious formatting errors that I just had to fix before reading the book.

Now I have a Kindle, and I guess I'm reading Mobi books. But I wouldn't know it because I've never felt the need to fix a book.

I wonder if (a) it's easier to format for a Kindle since it's a narrow range of devices, (b) Amazon is just more careful, or (c) I'm hallucinating.

Do others have a similar experience?
