Yes. A work around is to use Calibre's command line tool mobi2oeb, which explodes to an OEB ebook (HTML, images, and a .opf metafile). Sometimes you are better off deleting the resulting .opf file and just reading the .html directly in FBReader, but if the .opf works ok (open it in FBReader to check) then make a ZIP of the directory (give mobi2oeb a different directory for each ebook) and rename it .oebzip. This is treated as an OEB ebook by FBReader. To read the HTML, delete the .opf and make a ZIP of the directory. The ZIP can be opened by FBReader.
