It is not working very well.

I tried it on 3 books, only 1 converted. All the books were first cracked from Kindle format. I needed to do that because my Kindle no longer works and I want to read them on my Kobo.

I installed the plugin above (mobi_unpack_v051_plugin.zip).

Only 1 in 3 books were converted.

1. The oldest book seems to have been converted well
2. A recent book (bought last week) was not recognised as being in mobi format, the the file menu didn't even provide the option to convert
3. The 3rd book produced no files, but gave an error message (below)

calibre, version 0.8.61
ERROR: MobiUnpack - The Plugin v0.5.1: unpack_from requires a buffer of at least 20 bytes

Traceback (most recent call last):

PS: I'm using Windows XP (32 bit)
