Odd. It generally works just fine for me. Not always of course, some books are pretty terrible.
I do know that you are a lot fussier about these things than I am. I don't actually care if my books are formatted as originally, as long as they are presentable. And I don't care about the underlying html as long as my reader doesn't choke on it. So if I want them as original I just leave them alone.
Often the reason I am converting is that the original formatting is butt ugly IMO. And when I was still reading, or attempting to read on my Aura HD there were a lot of books that displayed with weird font sizes and quadruple spacing that could only be fixed easily by converting to mobi and back again or laboriously by editing them manually in the html files. They displayed just fine on my Sony readers. Now I have lots of Sony readers so that is no longer an issue.
Anyway, mobi is not being actively supported, nor are my Sony readers, but I do not think they are obsolete, or even seriously out of date, any more than my 40 year old major appliances that still work like new.
8 track tapes probably 10 or more of the computers I have owned which cost me thousands each in the 70's and 80's are definitely obsolete, bu I am sure there is someone that feels differently.
We will have to agree to disagree I think.
