Hi DiapDealer,

Nice catch! I never actually tested it on a book without an NCX.
If your version seems to work for everyone, then we have one to release before we attempt the refactoring/adding of classes.

Thanks,

KevinH

[QUOTE=DiapDealer;1742537]The above script is slightly broken for MOBI's that have no NCX (when DEBUG_NCX is set to False). In that circumstance, the outncx variable is referenced before it's assigned in the unpackBook function. The <spine> element is also incorrect in the opf for a MOBI with no ncx file.

I made two small changes to the unpackBook function that make it work for MOBI's with no NCX. A quick diff will reveal the simple changes.

I'm having quite a bit of success with unpacking various books and rebuilding them with Kindlegen.
