Still, the book has 87 chapters and is 1.5mb in size. I can't believe the author kept it as a monolithic block while he wrote it. So, I'd at least expect some number of files (besides one).
Backs my theory that it was an HTML export from Word, which I think does indeed work better with Mobipocket creator than a direct Word import (which may be using MS Office Word to HTML anyway?).

I used Mobipocket creator on XP with Word 2002/XP (and doc from Open Office) before discovering Calibre and upgrading to LibreOffice.

With outlining built into Word, OO and LO Writer for over 20 years why wouldn't an author use a single file? I see separate plain text files used at an early stage of writing where the structure isn't clear and bits are written on a phone.
