I have a number of unencrypted .mobi files that I've downloaded or converted from other formats and I'd like to do some simple editing on the files, such as correcting spelling errors or reformatting some sections with page skips or paragraph markers.

Are there any affordable tools (or even better free tools) I could use to clean up and display .mobi files? I'd prefer Mac tools but would be content with Windows. I'm sorry I don't do Linux (yet!).

There isn't something as simple as an editor unfortunately. You can use mobi2oeb, edit the HTML and then use oeb2mobi to get it into a Mobi file again. These are command line tools that install with Calibre.


We discussed it a bit here...
