#1 reason TO: The device does not support the format you have.

I think many newbies think conversions ADD stuff the source did not have:
Colors where there was no colors coded (Conversions can do an over all color, but not just a word ). Enabling THE DEVICES ability for Note taking.

OTOH If you are willing to do 'value added' editing, you cam make up for deficiencies in the original (eg. original Mobi was very limited in styling)
