The Opus at least does support mobi, although it comes loaded with the epub firmware. I just changed to the mobi formware, after a few weeks of coping with uncomfortable or just plain unreadable epub books.

I'm told that ePub is the format of the future, and I have no reason to doubt that. But what I'm interested in is books that I can read now, without the formatting getting (too much) in the way. When we get a majority of beautiful and readable ePubs I will change back. For the moment I'll stick to mobi and just convert the epubs I buy.
