Okay, I don't know much about this stuff, but I can point you to some info with the hopes that some of it might be helpful. I'm kind of like the blind man shooting at a bottle on the fence. Not likely to break the bottle, but it's fun to shoot!
I can't tell with a quick look, but there is some information for Mobipocket developers here...
http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/default.asp including some of the book creator software (maybe with documentation on the format?), and the DOM (Document Object Format)
http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/articl...reader_dom.xml.
Unfortunately, that probably doesn't help you read as it might be the code that gets compiled into the final format, so I don't know if it's helpful to you.
I can tell you that "The Mobipocket eBook format based on the Open eBook standard using XHTML can include JavaScript and frames. It also supports native SQL queries to be used with embedded databases" according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebook#Mobipocket
This would indicate that it really is an Open eBook implementation:
