I realize I'm dredging up an old thread, but I can't find the answer anywhere I have looked.

What is the appropriate command line to change the ClippingLimit of an ebook, using mobi2mobi?

Before I make any changes the file as this value:

Code:

EXTH    item: 401 - ClippingLimit - 1 - 0xa

I use these options with mobi2mobi:

Code:

--exthtype clippinglimit --exthdata 0x64

but when I then investigate the settings I see:

Code:

EXTH    item: 401 - ClippingLimit - 4 - 0x30783634

The same thing occurs if I make changes using mobi2mobi_gui.

So why does the 0x64 I type change to the 0x30783634 in the file? Any ideas?
