What TOR have done here is to make available for download the "raw" output from the Kindlegen tool, which contains both a dual Mobi (ie separate MOBI7 and KF8 versions of the book) and the source it was created from (the ePub). This is the file that a publisher provides to Amazon to go into the Kindle Store, but it really shouldn't ever be made available for download to anyone. Big mistake by someone at TOR. The fact that it has a ".prc" rather than a ".mobi" extension has no bearing on the matter whatsoever.
The comment that I made earlier in the thread - that the fact that the "KindleUnpack" Calibre plugin generates an ePub files does not mean that there actually
is a separate ePub file - remains perfectly valid. You will never, ever download a file from Amazon that contains a separate ePub - the only reason that this one does is because the publisher has screwed up, basically. The normal action of KindleUnpack (for books that people actually download from Amazon) is to repackage the KF8 component of the book in an ePub wrapper.
