Problem converting/opening books
I have two versions of a book, one a PRC and the other epub. Calibre won't open either one, nor do any conversion. I haven't tried another mobi reader, but I can open the epub using Nook for PC. I'm fairly certain that the epub was created via PubIt (there is no DRM on either, or isn't supposed to be). With a couple thousand books, I haven't run into this before.
This is the error I get trying to open the PRC:
calibre, version 0.7.47
ERROR: Could not open ebook: Unknown book type: '\x00BOOKMOB'
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is the error on the EPUB:

Any suggestions? I tried renaming the .EPUB as .ZIP and opening, but get an error that it isn't a zip file. Yet,the nook app opens it just fine. I just don't want to read it there. Running Calibre 0.7.47
