Second, mobi2mobi doesn't always work right. I have had some files that don't show up in the folder. I've noticed that these files tend to have either no title or the full path title. ("C:\documents\... and so on). I discovered that if I convert an html file to mobi that the folder thing does not work if the html file has no "Title" attribute. If I take the identical file, open in it Word, resave as filtered HTML and set the title to something normal, it then works.
My guess is that some conversions mess up the mobi headers and once they are messed up mobi2mobi can't change them. The title is probably particularly susceptible since the original mobipocket spec derives from the Palm convention which limited the title to 31 characters. So a title with zero characters or more than 31 may well make the rest of the header unreadable.

The Mobi2Mobi GUI should work for, you're running windows. If you start reading from
this post in the GUI thread you'll see you have to add more parameters (switches?) to the command with Kindle books. The GUI was updated to accommodate the extra commands with mobiperl .40
