There are two levels of compression that can be used in MOBI ebooks. All (or almost all) DRM-free MOBI's use the standard compression, but some DRMed MOBIs use the high compression. Some programs won't read high compression MOBIs, even when their DRM has been stripped off.
If you want to "explode" a DRM-free MOBI (e.g. the result of mobidedrm), I recommend the python command mobi2oeb which comes with
Calibre. If you have Calibre installed, then you should be able to invoke mobi2oeb from the command line. Its primary advantage is that it handles both compression levels. An "OEB" ebook is HTML, images, and a .opf file (just as you get from exploding a LIT ebook using ConvertLIT). Unless the MOBI is already in its own directory, you should give mobi2oeb a directory name (e.g. Author_Title) to hold the output:
Code:
mobi2oeb -o Author_Title Author_Title.mobi
