I know that this will seem like an incredibly stupid question but how do I use mobiunpack? What I need is a simple tutorial on how to run the script and where I have to put the name of the book etc. I have Python downloaded but I am not familiar with command line tools so the basics would be appreciated. I have seen on various threads that Calibre can unpack mobi files to get at the html but once again I have no idea how to do it. I do not want to use Calibre to convert to ePub etc because I want to look at the original raw html/css file and Calibre changes the css when it converts. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
