I'm aware that there is no official documentation - however this format has been comprehensively reverse-engineered by several others in the past, so unofficial documentation is a distinct possibility.
My current references are the MobileRead wiki and the API documentation for a perl library.

Just so you know... the creation of a mobi file REQUIRES "other software tools." They can't really be made from scratch. MOBIs are binary files that must be compiled from source material...
|
I'm aware of that, however just because it's a binary format doesn't make it impossible to create without using somebody else's tool.

Unless you write your own mobi creation software...

That's exactly what I'm doing, hence my request for documentation.
