Yes. However, I've reformed or created >100 ebooks so that they look good on my cybook, and normally it is quite easy, especially with a decent editor that supports regex with backreferences. Where the original html is available (thanks, baen!), there is very little effective difference between that and the calibre'd mobi.
And lets face it, for novels on a mobile reader, the vast bulk is simply <p>text</p>. With a bit of css to set my preferred indent and margin-top (10px, 25px) its a easy job mostly - especially now I am aware of the various idiosyncrasies of the mobi format and its varying implentations.
Mind you, I do hope the original mobi designers are having to endure endless torment. What were they *thinking*? Actually, don't answer that. I don't think that I want to know.
