Much of the original book formatting provided by the publisher is lost in MOBI format. You would be far better off installing the Kindle for PC/Mac app and using that to download Kindle books.

Oh, right. I had no idea of this difference with the older kindle. Thanks!!
Yep, I will install the pc version of Kindle and use that instead. I assume the books are fairly easy to locate once downloaded? probably in %appdata% at a guess.
