Here:
LINK REMOVED.

tompe · 06-09-2008, 06:47 PM

Well I have it. The file does not contain any information at all about copyrigh so is it OK to put the link here? I cannot find any info on mobipockets web site either.

HarryT · 06-10-2008, 03:23 AM

You're welcome to link to it here, but best not to upload the file here.

tompe · 06-10-2008, 06:33 AM

The file I downloaded is here:

http://egad.dyndns.org/mobigen_linux.tar.gz

but I assume that is the same file as the one Nate put up.

EDIT: I removed the file since it seems that a new version is available.

The link at Mobipocket is working again, although the program has been slightly changed (e.g. instead of Kindle Creator it's called "Mobipocket mobigen.exe"). I don't know if they made any other changes.

Nate the great · 06-10-2008, 11:32 AM

I took the link down because I got this:

Looks like they stripped the symbols this time. Too late guys!

You think the guy who screwed up (by forgetting to strip the symbols) is still working for Mobipocket?

Also notice the reuploaded version doesn't include the Kindle-specific features.

Why? What benefit do they give the user?

Sorry for my late reply, Harry - didn't see your question before. Well, with the debug symbols still intact, to someone with a good knowledge in assembly code and debugging tools (like igorsk) it's almost like reading from the source code. Of course this includes the code for the DRM creation...

Maybe I should try to decode it to gain more insights into the MobiPocket format. I am not interested in the DRM stuff but having a correct specification of the format would be good.

Any good tools in Linux to analyze binaries?

TadW · 07-08-2008, 05:47 AM

Datarescue IDA (comes for various hosts, like Windows, Linux, Mac). Alas, it's not cheap. You may search on Google for "5.2.0.908" for more information.

Hadrien · 07-08-2008, 06:07 AM

Found a bug with the Linux version. When you link to an anchor (file.html#domid) in the OPF, the link won't work with the linux version, although it works fine with the Windows version.

Alexander Turcic · 07-08-2008, 06:28 AM

Hadrien, this one works for us using the Linux version:

<guide><reference type="toc" title="Table of Contents" href="guide.html%23toc">

Have you properly url-escaped the # character?

That's probably the problem. No need to escape it in the Windows version, I'll try this.

Thank you for the tip Alex
