But more importantly, it seems I wasn't clear about one thing: I wasn't complaining about PDF support. What I was trying to say was that, while it could certainly be improved, I'm quite happy with what I got so far.
As for the formulas, I don't think Mobipocket does have any formula support at all (it is, after all, just encapsulated HTML, right?), so probably the only solution would be embedded images.

For formulas: MathML isn't included in any e-book format... yet. I expect ePub in the next version of its standard to include MathML support. Currently, it would already be possible to use MathML in an ePub files if you use a proper fallback (XHTML + images for formulas in SVG).
SVG though, is already included in the standard, and it's fairly easy to export formulas in SVG.
