One of the downsides of a multi-format viewer is that individual formats are unlikely to get the attention they deserve. I agree that FBReader's MOBI support isn't optimal. Some issues are due to differences in philosophy, FBReader isn't trying to obey every whim of the publisher, but others are easily corrected and, since it is Open Source, Bookeen (say) could easily improve its MOBI support.
