You only get mobi on Amazon.

  For some people, that's enough. Not everyone needs 15 copies of the same book.

    Not everyone has a Kindle. Giving more choices should be the default. Amazon doesn't do it because they want you to buy their hardware. Until there's a standard every e-book reader abides to publishers should try to provide for everyone.

      I'm not sure Amazon cares about selling hardware -- they have reading apps for Android, iOS, OS X, and the web, probably Windows too. I think it's more a desire to lock you in to their platform and maybe to make buying as low friction as possible.

    You tell me when in a few years you use a different ebook reader...

      If they're DRM-free mobi, which I think ORA books are, then Calibre can easily convert them to ePub, etc.

    Mobi and the Kindle sucks for technical literature. Tables and program listings are often messed up and unreadable and it is too slow and awkward to jump between different sections. I love my Kindle for more linearly organized texts though, such as fiction or essays.

  And it has DRM on it.
