To be fair, Mobi can be converted to ePub with little to no loss of formatting.

Converting ePub to Mobi is more likely to lose some formatting - fonts, wrapped illustrations, drop caps, proper indents, etc.

But this will become less of a problem with time as Amazon is moving towards KF8 which is much closer in capabilities to ePub than the older mobi format.
