Hello,

I read many tutorials about doing dictionary for Kindle, everyone started with having a Tab-separated txt file.

My problem is I have a extremely large dictionary in these three formats:
prc,

Code:

epub

Code:

chm

Code:

https://mega.co.nz/#!B1dCWLRT!fdz-N95Ci4uoCRvn7cwd_BurlrAKbuLJQotthZc-CIg

They seem to work fine, even kindle opens the prc. But I've tried almost every converter to convert it to txt, but none worked. Even Calibre after 2 hours ended up with error of empty file.

I uploaded the files to mega.co.nz

Anybody has any idea about how to start creating dictionary for Kindle with these three formats, or how to convert it? I'm pretty much desperate, as I tried everything possible...

Also how can I easily create Tab delimited txt file from one of these files? As these files are formatted wit htable of contents, but not as kindle dictionary unfortunately...

Thanks
