.mobi corrupted zip header
Hi all,
Not sure if I've got a problem or not with this. I used Three Press validation tool and get the all-clear on the .epub file (I'm using Sigil). But when I try to validate the converted .mobi file (using Calibre), I get this error: 1. ERROR: The Red Cockatoo - Mitch Miller.mobi: corrupted ZIP header 2. ERROR: The Red Cockatoo - Mitch Miller.mobi: I/O error: error in opening zip file 3. Check finished with warnings or errors! I've downloaded and installed the latest Calibre software and still get the same error. [Unauthorised book files removed] I've attached the files here. Apologies they are quite big. Many thanks in advance. John. Last edited by pdurrant; 11-29-2011 at 12:58 PM. Reason: Unauthorised books aren't allowed to be uploaded |

You're trying to validate a MOBI using an EPUB validation tool. MOBI is very different from EPUB and you cannot use an EPUB validator on a MOBI.
