Probably not, no. The majority of books in the Kindle bookstore are now KF8. It tends to be mainly the older ones which are Mobi-only, and the ePub versions of such books are unlikely to use any formatting that Mobi doesn't support.

I buy wherever's cheapest. Lots of books from Amazon, but I've just bought a load of ePubs from "BooksOnBoard" to take advantage of their Christmas sale.
