Create mobi file with notes.

[yngve]

Hi! What I would like to do is to create a Mobi file, where certain words (determined by a python script or something) have a note attached to them, to aid in language learning.

Is this doable, and if so, does tools that can do this exist?

Thanks!

- What is your input format?
- How do you want the notes to be visualized?

If you have your annotated text in html, with the notes as endnotes, several tools exists that can convert that to mobi. If you have your text in some other format, then it all depends on what that format is.

The latest Kindle PaperWhite model, PW2, (but none of the older devices or Kindle apps) supports popup footnotes, which might do the trick.



It also relatively easy to create a custom dictionary, which might be the better solution, since dictionaries are supported by all Kindle models and apps.

However, you'd have release two books.
