Formats are just specifications; ink on paper if even that.

Comparing ePub to Mobi is comparing a format without dictionaries to one with.
Actully, this may not be so. The Sony PRS-600 that is due out later in August has a dictionary. There is a good chance it will work with ePub and if so, then the ePub vs Mobipocket war just got heated up with ePub winning big time.
