Thanks, Kevin! This is so helpful.

Can you confirm that the only thing mobi_unpack does is show what was in the mobi file? It doesn't generate anything, right?

When I convert an EPUB file to mobi with KindleGen2, and then unpack it with your latest version of mobi_unpack, I get a folder that contains a smaller version of the EPUB file than the original, an HTML file with what looks like the contents of the entire book, along with an ncx and opf file, and a folder with reduced size images.

Then, there's a K8 folder that contains a completely re-engineered set of files, all renamed, resized images, etc. of what was originally in my EPUB file.

And then there's a kindlegensrc.zip file, that when unzipped, contains my original unaltered files.

It all seems so excessive.

thanks,
Liz
