Most people have no idea what format the books are in, and couldn't care less.
It is a book. It has words, in sentences, in paragraphs. The fact that it doesn't support nice things like dropped caps and flowing around images don't seem to really matter, does it?
If it did, Amazon would just bring out a better format of it, or switch to ePub and wrap it in their own DRM.
And the situation would be exactly the same as it is now.

But at least they are currently using the best format. Amazon is not using the best format. They are using a format that is even behind the now dead MS Reader format.

And this doesn't matter. Being technically better means very little.
And frankly both formats are poorly suited to the job they are being put to.
