I don't use mobi myself, because I
am extremely picky about fonts and layout, despite having read immutable paper books for most of my life (I still have about a thousand of paper books, but I'm afraid I'll never touch most of them again. Nowadays I only read a paper book when there's no ebook available at all). Still, I don't think mobi should vanish just yet. It may be an old and crude format, but it's perfectly readable for the not-so-fussy (which probably is the majority of users).
