MOBI files - No suitable source format found for bulk conversion
I have a bunch of .mobi files from a kindle keyboard I'm trying to convert to .epub, but after I "added books" to the calibre library, and selected them for a bulk conversion, they all brought up a "no suitable source format found" error. Any ideas on what the problem is? The file names all have a 'mobi' suffix.

What happens if you try just 1 (a Single)?

If these books have DRM, that must be taken care of before you convert.

BTW Many folk 'assume' that all Kindle books are Mobi. What does Calibre say (in the Details section) they (each, individually) are?
