How does it matter to people how & where I got the books? The question asked was MOBI to ePUB from all flavors of .mobi files.
Why? Because MARVIN is much much better for reading and highlighting than any .mobi reader that I know about.

I don't care WHY you want to convert MOBI to ePub. Not my business and I don't care. Nor do I want to argue about whether or not you SHOULD be able to mention where the MOBIs originally came from without assumptions being made. I happen to agree that you SHOULD be able to. I only know it's unwise to do so when it has nothing to do with the problem at hand or its solution. Past experience on the forums has taught me that.
I'd much rather discuss whether or not my advice to use the What's My Mobi script has helped in identifying the underlying structures in a collection of MOBIs from various sources or not. But if you feel tangential, philosophical debate about what you SHOULD be able to talk about is the best way to get all your MOBIs in a Marvin-ready ePub state, then far be it for me to stand in your way. I was simply offering a practical tip that my time spent seeking/giving help (of a technical nature) on these forums has taught me. Take it or leave it: but by all means... let's move on and get back to the HOW part of the discussion.
