We are still obtaining superior MOBI results, over "just" ePUB results. FWIW. And yes, that's due to mqs. Only a fool would engage in a money bet right now, taking the side that Amazon's going to nuke MOBI format. I don't see that happening in the next...hell, 3 years minimum and maybe 5. If ever.

I think Amazon should do away with Mobi when it's time for the batteries in Mobi only Kindles to be dying. That means that eventually Mobi will go away when the majority of Mobi only Kindles are no longer in use.
