Problems with Kindle ebook

I bought this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Kult-ebook/dp/B004TGT3S6/

But didn't like the layout. The cover and content page are missing, there's no chapter marks, and there is just a blank line to separate scenes instead of stars (* * *).

It had DRM so I had to remove that, then used Mobiunpack to extract the html. The plan was to fix all the layout problems, then turn it back into a mobi with Mobicreator. I've done this lots of times with other ebooks.

But with this one, a lot of random words are missing from the html that are in the original AZW file. There's also problems with html tags, missing — < characters that will make the tags crash into the text.

Any ideas what would cause all this?

(Note for law enforcement officers, the above is a fictional account of something that never happened).
