But the Kindle's biggest formatting problem, it seems to me, is that it allows publishers to sabotage their own product by producing books that are Topaz-formatted. It not only sabotages the book, it sabotages the device, and why Amazon allows it is a mystery to me.

Topaz is designed for additional features that are not available in mobi. I suspect it is likely that it is or will become the preferred format for Amazon. How is this the biggest formatting problem?
