Well, that brings up another head-scratcher for me. I did originally try to open/build in Mobi Creator (pub ed.) but whenver I attempted to open the .prc it wouldn't open. (I tried all my backup copies, too.

Interesting, where did this book come from? Are you able to open and view it in Calibre?

I purchased it and can read it with no problem on my K2 and MobiReader as a .prc. Unfortunately, the author name does not appear in my book list on the Kindle and I want to correct that.

I just tried converting again with the latest version (0.5.3) of Calibre, but still receive the same error log.

Yeah, just rename book.prc to book.mobi, check to see if your changes are still intact and try it on your Kindle. If not, change the metadata on book.mobi and see if that works.
If that fails try Mobi2Mobi. |

using calibre worked great for fixing the author metadata, however I noticed that it doubled the size of the mobi file during conversion (even for the ones that were originally mobi that i converted to mobi).. is this expected behaivor?

The only file change I have noticed, following an edit within Calibre, is that the file name changes from book.prc to book - author.prc. It would seem the metadata (with author name) itself is not being saved within the file. |

This is because the GUI version of Calibre does not compress the MOBI output. The any2mobi command has a compress option, but it is slow.
