A MOBI file isn't a renamed ZIP file, it is a PRC file (originally designed for a Palm PDA).

An ePub is a ZIP file, renamed .epub, but the first file in the ZIP Container MUST be ‘mimetype’ which holds the MIME type for the ZIP Container (i.e., “application/epub+zip”). The file MUST NOT be compressed nor encrypted and there MUST NOT be an extra field in its ZIP header.
