I agree. My approach with these mobi files is basically doing the bare minimum to get it in an epub-like state (and approximate xhtml-ness wherever possible). There's no getting around the fact that if you want mobis turned into "pretty," well-behaved epubs, you're going to have to get your hands dirty regardless. But if you want something that you can give a quick tweak and then feed right back to kindlegen, this might be the ticket. I'm not trying to make something that can take every ugly-assed mobi anyone throws at it and turn it into a sleek, shiny new epub. I'm trying to make something that can take every ugly-assed mobi thrown at it and not barf on your shoes.
