And? And even if this is true then they do not have to do it this way. Nothing in the format says you have to implement it stupidly.

Also, someplace on Mobipocket's support site they do say that while you can tell the eBook to use a larger font, that give the way the blocks work, that it's easy to go past it and not have the reader see the font change.
This has nothing to do with the fact that they have block. It has to do with random access of data (being able to jump to a text position without looking at all data before the position). You do not have to implement it this way and you can implement it so it works differently even if you have the blocks.
