MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - KindleUnpack (MobiUnpack): Extracts text, images and metadata from Kindle/Mobi files

Hi,

I tried removing all metadata that was K8 specific. I tried removing all metadata that talked about creator software versions. I noticed that the FCIS sections where different between old mobis that Kindle Previewer in Fire mode showed well and these split versions and modified the software to create the old style FCIS (FLIS) was the same. I even put back the font and resc files instead of zeroing them out, and still no luck!

Somehow somewhere there must be something in the mobi7 split file that confuses the Kindle Previewer when in Fire mode but I really can not see it.

I dumped the mobi7 header.dat and the header.dat form one version create with a mobi to mobi conversion in calibre and compared them. I simply can not find much different that might matter in any way.
