Anyway, so I need to change the CSS definition? Is that on one place?
You're right, is due aesthetic. I've never seen code in italic and pink. It's hard to read, at least for me.

If the formatting was done in a manner which a sane person would have done it, then there might be a single CSS class definition for all code in the book, and each paragraph tag that contains code will have
class="something" where
something represents the class name. But if the creator of the mobi used an application like MS Word to create the book then had it generate HTML for the eBook, it will likely be a mess to correct. Even some of the large publishing houses turn out total garbage for eBooks by simply converting Word docs to HTML.
Personally I still prefer to see code represented in a monotype font.
ETA: I don't know about mobi7, but Amazon's KF8 format recognizes the HTML
[CODE] tag. Seems to me it would be smart to use that tag for code in eBooks. The eBook creator could easily modify the results of the CODE tag via CSS. However, looking at your sample I doubt the eBook creator used the CODE tag.
