I use Mobipocket for historical reasons - it was the best option when I started out on a Sony Clie SJ-10.
It would require some significant development to make me switch formats now, although I'm sure that at some point in the future I'll switch to a new format.
By that time I suspect there will be very simple tools for converting from Mobipocket to the new format, as Mobipocket is, essentially, just a wrapper around an HTML dialect.
I wouldn't be surprised to lose my dictionary. But that's one book out of hundreds, probably thousands by that time.
As for DRM - before this year, I last bought a DRMed eBook in 2004. And I'd bought less than 10 at that time. But since a Mobipocket DRM removal tool became available this year, I've bought over 100.
Unencrypted Mobipocket is future proof, as well as having a nice reader for most platforms. Now that there's Stanza available for non-DRM Mobipocket on Mac OS X I'm even happier with my choice.
