Calibre is a library system, and a damn fine one, but it is NOT a production tool for professional production (for Kindle books for SALE).

Hi Hitch,
Could you please be very specific about what extra header information is needed ... is this simply the extended header info where metadata is stored on mobi ebooks or something else? As far as I know, all Kindle DRM ebooks store part of the information needed to decode the DRM in extended header metadata values. Is this what you are referring to? If something else, can you please supply the specifics of what you need.
I am sure it would be quite easy to make a mobi to mobi converter that adds in an extended header with whatever fields you need added to the extended header and in whatever order you want them.
