The second is out of my area.

You could use a command-line command to find what you are looking for. The command is 'find'. If you are on windows, you need to install it from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/findutils.htm. Other systems will have it as a native command.

Once installed, in a terminal/command box with the current directory at the top folder of the library (the one containing metadata.db), run the command
Code:
find -name "*.mobi" -size 0
If you are on windows, you might need to type
Code:
"\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\find.exe" -name "*.mobi" -size 0
You will get a list of .mobi files with zero length. The path will tell you the author and title.
