Mobipocket decompiler

Nate the great · 08-29-2010, 11:09 AM

I need a way to get the source html out of a Mobipocket file. Could someone point me at a decompiler, please?

Yeah, I'm sure this has been asked before.

Thanks.

tompe's mobiperl package is excellent. You'll want to use the "mobi2html" tool in it. They are command-line tools; there's a GUI interface for them here.

Thanks.

That did it.

If you do find any new tags for the "enhanced" Kindle books, be sure to let tompe know, so he can add them to the toolset.

There's also a python script floating around by the name of mobiunpack.py that extracts the html and the images from a mobi file.

And generates a .opf file from which you can re-create the original Mobipocket file using KindleGen.

The project is hosted here: http://code.google.com/p/ebook-conversion-tools/

Although there isn't a download packaged up at the moment - you'd need to download the source directly.

It's also available here on Mobileread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?p=774836
