Tweek Book without Losing Mobi6
I have a mobi file that I need to tweak. The “Go to Beginning” reference is screwed up. It’s pointing to the back of the book.
However, when I attempt to tweak the book, I get a warning that the “file contains both KF8 and older Mobi6 data. Tweaking it will remove the Mobi6 data, which means the will not be usable on older Kindles.” I went ahead and exploded it, made my tweak, and then rebuilt the book. Sure enough, I can read the book on the Kindle Fire but not the Kindle 3. Is there a workaround for this? Or is there a simpler way to fix the Go to Beginning problem other than editing the .opf file? |

Tweak the book, then reconvert it to MOBI. Tweaking of MOBI 6 is not supported.

So do I have to have the source files to tweak for both MOBI 6 and KF8?

No, you can use the kf8 mobi as the conversion source.
