Image Records
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
If the file contains images, they follow the text blocks, with each image using a
|
||||
single block. The 4096-byte record size in the PalmDoc header applies only to
|
||||
text records; image records may be larger.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Magic Records
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases, MobiPocket Creator adds a 2-zero-byte record after the text
|
||||
records in a file. This record is not included in the "record count" of text
|
||||
records in the PalmDoc header, and is also not used as the "first non-book
|
||||
index" in the MOBI header. (If the 2-zero-byte record is present, the index of
|
||||
the following block is used as the "first non-book index".)
|
||||
|
||||
MobiPocket Creator also ends files with three records: 'FLIS', 'FCIS', and
|
||||
'end-of-file', in that order. The 'FLIS' and 'FCIS' records do not seem to be
|
||||
necessary for MobiPocket Reader or the Amazon Kindle 2 to read the file. The
|
||||
'end-of-file' record might be necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
FLIS Record
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The FLIS record appears to have a fixed value. The meaning of the values is not known.

End-of-file Record
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The end-of-file record is a fixed 4-byte record. While the last two bytes
|
||||
appear to be a CRLF marker, the meaning of the first two bytes is unknown.

SRCS Record
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
kindlegen creates a record whose content is a zip archive of all source files
|
||||
(i.e., .opf, .ncx, .htm, .jpg, ...) given to the command and puts it in the
|
||||
generated MOBI file. The record begins with the "SRCS" signature and is
|
||||
located just before the #End-of-file Record.
|
||||
|
||||
MOBI files created with Mobipocket creator, Amazon's Personal Document Service,
|
||||
or Kindle Direct Publishing (former Amazon DTP) don't include SRCS record.
|
||||
In a past, kindlegen had an undocumented option to suppress this record, but
|
||||
the option was removed in 2010.
