As pointed out in the MobiPerl thread the problem is that the prc file is just a packed text file. And since mobi2mobi does not touch the content of the file you will get a MobiPocket (MOBI) file with corrupt html code so it will not open on some devices.

The flag --rawhtml to mobi2html can be used to get the raw content from a prc file.
