A good example of Mobi being obsolete is in the threads where someone says he/she is trying to convert to Mobi and it's not working well enough and the suggestion to convert to KF8 is suggested and that turns out to work.

And with KF8 (also known as AWZ3) it is really ePub vs ePub in sheep's clothing. KF8 is really nearly equal and in some ways more than equal with ePub using ePub source and then compiling it into a binary and adding Amazon specific DRM on the results. Amazon has figured out what some here have not, mobi is obsolete. They continue to offer it since there are a lot of older devices that are no longer sold and Amazon is in the eBook business so as long as people buy eBooks they will sell the old format with all of its flaws. All of the current new devices use KF8 although they will still read the older format.
