Thanks for testing this.



I'd already suspected that Mobi Meta Editor was to blame, because files directly converted from the source worked just fine.

If you ever officially release this tool, maybe you could mention in the release notes that it'll most likely fail with .mobi files whose metadata was modified with Mobi Meta Editor.

(Since the author of Mobi Meta Editor seems to no longer visit MR, chances are slim that he'll fix this bug.)
