But it seems to matter or something else is wrong. On Gen3 I get a corrupted title and this corruption changes depending on how long the MOBI header is. So I assume it tries to read unitialized memory. Or how do I specify that the metadata does not exists?

What is the difference between version 3 and 4 and why is it preferred to use version 3?
