Thank you for looking. Any idea why the CDETYPE would be omitted from the convert process? And can I add it back in, do you think?

Both files were added as rtf. I then added a picture, I use the same ones mostly, a jpeg file, then I got the Calibre plugin to create the cover. Then the calibre convert process to convert to mobi, and then AZW3. I didn’t do anything different for the Prison book.

I have about 200 calibre created AZW3 files on my Voyage, this glitch affects about 12 of them.
