And I must respectfully disagree with your disagreement. I recognize that you have made a significant investment in terms of your Mobipocket-format library, but one effect of that is the formatting of the books you see necessarily lives within Mobipocket's limitations. While writing Mobipocket support for Calibre, I gathered most of my test cases for clean formatting degradation from my corpus of commercially sold LIT format books. I don't consider such things as image floats, right margins on blocks of text, and non-left-flush hanging indents to be extraordinarily sophisticated.
A fair cop on the dictionary support, although that's not technically an aspect of the format itself; i.e. a device supporting multiple formats
could allow lookup for all of them in a Mobi dictionary.
