Mobipocket File Format
I couldn't find any summary of the Mobipocket file format anywhere. Mobipocket don't document it, and although there's abviously been some reverse engineering to allow the MobiPerl tools and the various Python scripts, the code seems to be the documentation.
So - having spent some time with the various Perl and python scripts, and done a bit of googling on the PDB format, I've added some technical info to the wiki here, specifically to the PDB format page and the Mobipocket format page. Hopefully others will contribute what they know, so we can build up a good description of the Mobipocket format, to help improve the tools. Paul |

For MobiPerl the intention was that the code together with the comments in the code should be te documentation of my current understanding of the format (mostly the MobiPocket headers). |

If someone prefers C++ code over Perl or Python feel free to contact me (but expect a 2 weeks delay). |
