The reason that mobipocket MOBIs don't work, is that they won't let you add the Kindle PID to your list of PIDs.
In contrast, mobidedrm works with any MOBI ebook and with any PID in that ebook. That is because it is circumventing the DRM, kindlefix just allows the DRM to work on the Kindle (hence you need the Kindle PID inside the MOBI).

Was the kindlefix script written before mobidedrm was developed? If not, then why would anyone want to use it? Is it an attempt to avoid "snooping" by amazon on all non-azw files being read on the kindle?
