I suppose I´m some sort of Doctor Frankenstein of the thread =P
Particularly, I use epub simply because my device doesnt read mobi by itself (I installed CoolReader so I can read mobi on the LCD screen, although I rather use the EPD all the time for reading purposes). Well, that and because I dislike the amazon emporium very much
Anyway, yeah, you are right, epub got more availability and it´s just a matter of personal choice.
