Hey guys - I'm back with something I don't understand. It's kinda related to mobi2mobi, but also kinda related to mobi reader. And maybe just M$ Windows being a pain.
I have an AZW file. I dedrm'd it fine. I can open it in MobiReader on my PC and it works fine. But, the author is displayed as "LastName, FirstName," --- it's that little comma after the firstname that I want to get rid of.
Here's the command as I ran it (marked and pasted from command window):
F:\ebooks\Working>mobi2mobi.exe "title.mobi" --outfile fixcomma.mob
i --author "Heath, Lorraine"
Then I right clicked on the file and chose "Open With" > Reader. MobiReader opened and opened the file. I clicked back to my ebook library page and the comma still showed after the firstname. I deleted the mbp file and relaunched with no change.
So then, I deleted the mobi and mpb file and closed reader. Then instead of doing "Open With", I copied the file into the library myself and then launched reader.
Guess what? No comma.
Anyone have ANY idea why that would make a difference? I mean, I have no problem manually copying the file in instead of using "open with" but why would that make a difference?
Ignore this...figured it out...number of characters including the spaces and commas...duh.

To make this more relevant to mobi2mobi, what do the 15 vs. 16 in the results below signify? Just curious.
When I run mobi2mobi with no arguments except the infile, this is the author info it shows:
EXTH item: 100 - Author - 16 - Heath, Lorraine,
When I did the same against the fixcomma file, it shows:
EXTH item: 100 - Author - 15 - Heath, Lorraine
