Hi all,

I have a .opf and friends that I tried to test out Igor's Kindle scripts and mobiperl on. The result seems to be a .mobi file, and my understanding is that this can go directly into the Kindle. I put it there, and sure enough the Kindle sees it, but it freezes when I try to open the file and then reboots after a bit.

I am wondering if there may be something in the .opf that wound up in the .mobi that breaks the Kindle, or if I'm just doing it wrong in general.

I haven't tried other .mobi files yet or to convert something from Project Gutenberg or anything like that.

Any thoughts?
