I read a posting where someone was saying that if you use the mobi2mobi program to edit the clipping limit your book will no longer be readable. Nobody seemed to follow up on this, does anyone know if this is the case? I haven't used the program yet.
If you bought the book from Amazon and you're trying to remove the clipping limit WHILE the ebook is still DRM'ed, then yes, the ebook may be rendered unreadable. The clipping limit (and TTF flag) are now tied into Amazon's DRM scheme, so if you want to modify those two attributes (clipping limit and TTF flag), you are essentially forced to remove the DRM from the ebook first.

Basically, we no longer have the ability to tweak those two attributes on DRM'ed Amazon books like we used to be able to do. This is not a problem with mobi2mobi, but rather an insurmountable change to Amazon's DRM scheme.

Remove the DRM or deal with the existing clipping limit (and TTF setting). Those are our options now.
