Hi Nick,

I think your code could be tweaked to split a new kindlegen mobi into old and new pieces. In the old piece you could look for FONT and RESC sections and make them zero length (but keeping that section) since the old mobi never would access the RESC or FONT sections.

Either that of make a standalone strip kf8 utility.

BTW, does the new mobi_unpacker.py actually work with your stripped mobi8 files or does it need to be fixed to properly unpack them.

Thanks!
