It is not only about the book you have converted already, it is about books you will buy tomorrow, or in 3-6-9-12 months time. If they drop mobi support (I doubt), why depend on a format that your reader is not supporting natively? effectively barring yourself from any future firmware upgrades that might add new features and fix older bugs?
