In my family, we have 4 Kindles and one Nook. There will be an additional Nook plus an Ipad in the next 6 months. Is there any advantage for me to choose Epub to install into Calibre vs Mobi? I seem to recall reading that there was an order of preference. I prefer to use my Nook because that Trebachet (sp?) is easier for me to read than the standard fonts for either Nook or Kindle. So, what do you think? Does it matter?
