I hope this is a basic question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. All I want to do is take a non-DRM'd mobi file and decompress it. Then I'll make some changes in the css. When that's done, I want to recompress it back to mobi format. I'm using a Mac.

I can do this easily with epub files, but I can't see how to do it with mobi files.

I'm not eager to convert mobi to epub. I don't want to convert anything or rewrite any of the files. Just decompress, so I can edit. Then recompress.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks to anyone who can help,
Steve
