Yes, that is the main problem. Actually, there are several variants of the MOBIPOCKET format for dictionaries, so that is another variable in the equation.

Unfortunately I have no better answer than what was suggested above: unpack the MOBI and clean the source with some script, producing a format that Penelope can read, and use the latter to convert to the Kobo format.

Since I have maxed out on my FLOSS contributions (see next post), I do not plan to implement a generic read_mobi() function in Penelope, sorry.
