Gotcha!

The problem with MOBI as a format is that no matter how good the source is that you used to make the MOBI, the resulting code underneath won't nearly be as good.

I don't really know much about FB2 under the hood.

LIT can almost be as good as ePub in terms of the code under the hood.

PDB is not wonderful. It sort of takes after MOBI in terms of conversion.

RTF is usually from Word and that means usually a big mess.

TXT can be OK is the formatting is simple and text markup is used to show where bold and italics belong.

HTML can work quite well if it's well formatted with a separate CSS.

PDF as we all know is ghastly.
