Mobi shows page numbers, but at the expense of screen real estate (minor). You can see what page you're on with epub by hitting the menu key.

Mobi allows easy change between fonts, but only has 3 zoom levels. Epub doesn't change fonts, but has 5 levels of zoom.

Epub allows change from portrait to landscape, mobi doesn't.

Mobi allows internal hyperlinks, epub doesn't.

Can search (awkwardly) with epub, can't search with mobi.

Ultimately, for me, the better zoom levels were the deciding factor.

Epub by a nose.
Which machine do you have? On the Pocket Pro there are now 9 zoom levels on ePUB. ePUB can also follow internal hyperlinks using the 0 key to highlight the one want and the ok (menu) key to accept the selection.
