I have tried the DRM-free MOBI support in the latest EZ Reader firmware (the one with mobile ADE), and it works well with 3 font sizes and a choice of fonts (no landscape mode). The firmware for the Pocket Pro will presumably be very similar. In any case, once ebooks are DRM-free, they can be shifted to other formats using Calbre so you have the option of switching MOBI off-line to FB2 or ePub.
the latest firmware mobi support seems to be exactly the same as the previous version without the DRM support. This is good news since this was one of the best formatted formats available although some things such as TOC features are cumbersome. However, the ePUB is vastly improved providing another good format.
