as long as it's unique that's fine, but if it's .epub there could be any number of apps that might handle it.
That is likely WHY amazon chose to make them unique.

I'm not following you what is unique? The point of my comment was that Amazon chose to keep one extension for all their different formats. Download a Topaz book on the Kindle for PC and you will see it has the PRC extension.
The point I'm making is the software has to handle the different format it supports. The format identity is kept within the file, sure it can use the extension but that is not reliable since anybody can change a name.
So there is no need to expose the different formats by displaying different extensions.
I don't know where your example of ePub came in since we are talking about mobi and topaz formats
