Thanks, that makes sense.

I'm still wondering though, as I'm not looking to use this as a dictionary - the file has example sentences/phrases that I'm looking to extract and use in the Anki flashcard app.

Is there any way to extract the data at all, so that I can at least copy and paste it into Excel for editing?

I've used Kindleunpack to get it to an html, but I'm stuck at this stage because Firefox/Opera/Chrome/Excel/Wordpad crashes whenever it tries to open the 52mb .html file. I've then tried splitting it into smaller html files with Wordpad++ but then the formatting doesn't hold. Is it possible to copy and paste from the mobi file?
