Thanks for that. So we think along the same lines.

The only problem I have with offering alternative formats is what if, like with the mobi I have just tried, the format comes out messed up... Would it be like shooting myself in the foot or creating unnecessary problems for myself?
I read that problems with mobi files are pretty common, but I wonder if other formats may have issues as well.
