Just found one additional oddity. When I use Mobipocket Creator to convert a file from PDF or rtf or anything else, and then use mobi2mobi to edit the author or title data, mobi2mobi works properly. When I try to use mobi2mobi on a file converted over from .lit format to .prc is when the problem arises. I've been using Amber Lit Converter to change .lit files over to .prc format---as noted earlier, the converted .prc files work fine until I try to edit the metadata with mobi2mobi).

I don't know whether the problem is simply with all .lit to .prc conversions or whether it's only with conversions using Amber Lit Converter to go from .lit to .prc. I don't know of another program that will do that conversion to test that theory.
MobiPerl contains lit2mobi (for lit files were the DRM is removed).

mobi2mobi contains two code paths. One for real MobiPocket files and one for file of type TEXt. So either the prc file generated from Amber Lit is broken or I have broken the TEXt functionality. I can only test with FBReader easily but the conversion of TEXt files work with FBReader for me.

Can't Mobipocket Creator read lit files?

If you give me a file converted by Amber Lit i will look at it to see if I see something strange.
