Has anyone else had any problems when importing books in Mobipocket format purchased from Fictionwise.

Any time I import any of the books the metadata does not get picked up correctly. One of two things happens.

1) Title is set as the letter C and the author is set as the title of the book.
2) Title is set as the letter C and the author is set correctly.

I've also notices that the detection of embedded covers is hit and miss.

In all the books, the iLiad picks up the correct metadata.

This happens with Calibre version 0.4.76 on both OS X and Windows.
