Jellby:

Your .mobi ebooks open properly in Mobipocket Reader on my WinXP computer.

However, I could not convert this .mobi to .html using tompe's mobi2html or my Mobi2IMP since the database name is too long i.e. is 32 characters and has no terminating NULL byte. Once I hex edited the 32nd byte in the file to be a NULL (00), then it worked/converted.

Code:

FULLFILENAME: E:\ebooks\Mobileread-ebooks\Jellby\La Tauromaquia_SmIm.mobi
FILENAME: La Tauromaquia_SmIm.mobi
UNPACK DIRECTORY: unpacked
bogus database name! is this really a PalmOS file? at Palm/PDB.pm line 537.

tompe's Mobiperl expects the database name to be NULL terminated and if it already has reached its max. of 32 characters, then there is no room for the NULL byte.

Could you re-upload with a shorter database name?
