In these cases you would be better off using a dedicated tool for modifying those formats. There are a number of tools for extracting MOBI Html, text from PDBs. TXTZ is just a ZIP archive with TXT, images and a metadata OPF file in it.

As stated all conversion is: Input - OEB - Output. As such all input plugins create OEB and all output plugins require OEB. This makes converting between formats much simplier. Previous <= 0.4 used per input / output conversion code. It was unmanagable and in may cases redundant. So the conversion process was changed to what you see now.
