Let's see. Just running mobi2mobi and trying to change the cover gave me:

Code:
Invalid type '-' in unpack at /home/ignacio/bin/mobiperl/MobiPerl/EXTH.pm line 268.
The doctype is MOBI, so maybe the "old PRC format" issue is not the problem. Apparently ebook-meta can set the cover for this file. For another file, however, ebook-meta fails with "ValueError: non-existent record 4294968689L", while mob2mobi silently fails to set the cover (it does not give an error, but after that it still says "ERROR: No cover image in book").

Really, this is a pain in you know where
