The ORIGINAL_MOBI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ORIGINAL_MOBI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ORIGINAL_MOBI or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ORIGINAL_MOBI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.

The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ORIGINAL_MOBI files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ORIGINAL_MOBI file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ORIGINAL_MOBI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ORIGINAL_MOBI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ORIGINAL_MOBI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
