Depends on:

a) The book
b) The reading device.

If the publisher has made the book available in both KF8 and Mobi format and your device or app supports KF8, you'll get the KF8 version of the book. If the book is only available in Mobi format, and/or your reading device/app only supports Mobi, you'll get the Mobi version.

I'd guess that about 80% of the books I buy these days are KF8.
