I use MobiPocket Creator to make my Mobi files, and they've never given me or anyone I've heard of any problems. For the record, they are derived from Word 2000 files run on a Win2K PC, low-tech but effective. I'd guess there's something between MPC and Mobi2html that isn't compatible (and it may just be the difference in years from older to newer versions), but I'd have to look deeper into it with the creator (or the creators of both programs could get together).

I will most probaly not be noticed in a reader program. I think the python program also had problem unpacking. But this only seems to be an issue if you want to unpack to the original html file so no big problem for these files.

Standard compression appears equivalent to Palm "doc" compression: about 40% on text. High compression seems equivalent to Zip (about 70%), but takes a lot longer, since they are using a technique that lets them start uncompressing at any point in the file. It's intended for dictionaries which need the extra space saving and the ability to uncompress the file starting at somewhere other than the beginning, for performance in word look ups. ______ Dennis |
