I have a number of mobi and azw e-books from MobileReference, and they're not very consistent in their headers. In some, they've seen fit to label themselves as not only the Publisher but also as an Author. So these files have two Author headers, one for the actual author and one for MobileReference. On the Kindle, the author shows up as "MobileReference and <whoever>, with the <whoever> getting truncated by the display.

I'm trying to use mobi2mobi.exe from the command prompt to clean this up, using "--delexthtype Author", intending to then add back the real author. But the deletion step doesn't seem to work.

The output from the program includes "Deleting extended header data of type: Author", so it's parsing my command line input properly. But the resulting file still has both of the two Author headers.

Has anyone tried this? Or is there some other way to do this?
