One of the benefit of EPUB is that text can be reflowed, so the display size doesn't matter much, unlike PDF which sets a specific page size. I'm not sure about the MOBI format, but I assume it has similar features to EPUB?
At least it's possible to strip the DRM on Amazon books with the right set of tools, and Calibre is able to convert them to EPUB.
- Tagbert 6y agoMobi is very similar to EPub. It’s almost a 0.9 version of EPub. The main differences are in the container.

Any book larger than this small size that also features tables, charts, images, diagrams, code listings and more, will not display well on a small e-ink screen.
