Environment: Mint Linux

I downloaded a nice collection of MOBI ebooks. I can import the books into my working library w/o any errors, but most of the ebooks simply will not open for reading or converting in Calibre.

The error: MobiError: Unknown book type: '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00

The files appear the right size, etc, and I can open and read the books in the Linux version of FBReader, so I know the files are not corrupt.

Any ideas?
