Convert a .mobi dictionary (Wordnet3 Infused in this example) to a StarDict .dict file (with it's .ifo)

After a whole day of struggles, I finally managed to convert a wordnet3 infused dictionary (that you can get here: http://eb.lv/) from .mobi format to .dict format (suitable for KOReader).

I tested this process on Arch Linux, so your process might be different from mine.

Step 1

  • Download the KindleUnpack program from here: https://github.com/kevinhendricks/KindleUnpack
  • Extract the .zip
  • Start the GUI with python 2 (IMPORTANT: python3 doesn't work!): python2 KindleUnpack.pyw
  • Select the .mobi file as input and choose your output directory
  • (optional) I don't know if it is necessary, but select ePub Output type: Auto-Detect
