Topaz sucks, but fortunately the vast majority of Amazon books are mobi. As the others have stated, the few Topaz books I bought have had to have extensive editing after conversion to get rid of the OCR errors. To attempt to avoid Topaz, I always download the sample to see if the book is in Topaz. If the book is in Topaz, then I check other bookstores (Sony, B&N, etc.) to see if they have it available in ePub. If they do, I buy the ePub then convert that to mobi. However, I've found that most of my Topaz books are not available from other stores in ePub format.
