I would like to extract the contents of a .mobi file.

With an epub file I can extract the content with WinRAR but when I try with a .mobi, the only thing I can do is open it and see the contents. As soon as I try to open a file inside or extract something I have an error message telling me that the file is damaged. (For now, I have only tried with the WinRAR software and not with my script for epub files, so I do not have any code to show you)

I do not think it has a DRM, I downloaded the file from Project Gutenberg

If this way does not work... is there another way?
