Any point to holding on to MOBI files?

I am a Kindle user, but I have my Calibre library backed up as EPUBs. I have a bunch of old MOBI files kicking around as well as the EPUBs and other formats (AZW3 and KFX).

Is there any point in keeping the MOBI versions or are they just taking up space on my hard drive at this point?

Assuming your Kindle can read the newer formats, no not really. EPUB, AZW3/KF8 (& KFX, when applicable) are better in every way.

What have you been using to View/ Preview MOBI files off late?
