Everybody has a preference. For me the experience of reading a MOBI book far outweighs an HTML file. With MOBI books I can annotate, highlight, bookmark a book and have it synchronized with the PC. The MOBI format also has a dictionary function to lookup words and one button click to jump to the TOC. But even if you toss all those feature away MobiPocket has one feature that reading from an HTML does not have, the ability to remember the last page you were on. With HTML you will have to page through the whole HTML to find your location
Also MobiReader generates HTML to MOBI on the fly. All you have to do is select the "File| Import HTML" and it is automatically converted to a MOBI format. Since MOBI really nothing more than HTML the HTML file looks great.

Yes most readers have that feature MobiPocket, eReader, WattPad, Repli Go (PDF reader)... can tilt to the side.
The MobiPocket has a unique feature that "Locks" the screen so it wont turn on your when you reading. This is great when you reading in bed or leaning back to read.
