Thank You Very Much PeterT !!!
Now all I must do is remember what very safe place I stashed those MOBI files in...?
As for the whole Calibre thing...
I'll still avoid using Calibre as much as possible - it's main program's NEED to make messes just upsets me.
MY files in MY chosen directory structure are as -I- want them - and just because Mr. Kovid Goyal made such a wonderful graphical ebbok-managing app does NOT mean he gets to arrange my files by proxy !!!
I seriously hope someone will (or has already made...?) make an alternate GUI for Calibre's command-line tools, then I would use them alot more - but as things stand, having to re-visit DOS-land to convert a MOBI to EPUB is not my preferred way of doing things at all.
Even in the realm of Linux it has become clear that the GUI is what folks want and must be provided for fully.
I don't miss DOS at all anymore, so why would I want to re-visit DOS so as to enable the graphical viewing of graphically-oriented Ebooks !?!?!?!
For most conversions I've wanted or needed I've been able to find small, free GUI-centered tools to do them easily and in batches, keeping the converted titles in their source directories.
Oddly it seems that the ONLY conversions impossible to cover this way are MOBI to EPUB or MOBI to TXT.
Is this because of some iron-fisted influence of Amazon, or ???
I really don't know; all I want is to be able to read in comfort.
Best Wishes to All !!!
