The Wiki had some interesting hints about features that aren't supported in .mobi files, like nested tables. I didn't know that (but didn't use that, either). What happened in my case was that I used kindlegen to build the .mobi file and looking through it on a Kindle worked for about 3 or so pages, and then every following page went black. Kindlegen didn't give me an error, either.

Interestingly (and to my great annoyance, considering my dislike of it) Calibre produced a functioning .mobi file.

I noticed that the look-alike is a whole different issue, yes I wonder if using Pali characters (UTF8 encoded) would be an issue...

Thanks!
