And here we have an example of a disk crash tht affects a lot of books to connect this back to an argument if you should upload books in the secret MobiPocket compression scheme.
We now have a perl program (script) that can reverse a MobiPocket file back into HTML with an OPF file so it is easy to get back. I guess it was a good thing that Madam Broshkina uploaded the files so she can get them back after the crash of her system. I have downloaded some of her books myself. I would like to thank her for her past effort.
