I think it's a very different thing to say you prefer the features of KF8 to those of mobi than to say mobi should no longer exist. I use mobi simply because I've never had any reason not to. It gives me a better reading experience on my Kindle than epub does on my Kobo, not because mobi is better but because the Kindle is better.

I do read files on my Kindle which I download directly from Amazon, as well, and presumably those are KF8 files, although I don't pay much attention. Since I have a lot of devices I've sometimes had to switch from the downloaded native version of a book to the converted version doc format to be able to switch devices at will. I've never noticed any difference when I do that.

I'm bothered by some of the new things happening in ebooks such as the Kindle in Motion thing, which I suspect I'll find distracting. I have no plan to try it. I think sticking with what works for me is a good plan.
