How to pack/zip Kindle (.mobi/azw3) files
I use EPUB Unzip and EPUB Zip to crack open .epub files and then, after tweaking the code, zipping them back into an .epub file. I have MobiUnpack for cracking open .mobi files. Is there something like EPUB Zip for zipping them back into .mobi files after tweaking the code, or do I simply use a zipping program?

Put the KF8/AZW3 into Calibre and use the Tweak Books feature to get at the code. Then it can be put back together after that.

Thanks, JSW, but where is the Tweak Book feature in Calibre?

I found Tweak Books in Calibre. Neat.
