It's not trivial and currently a very manual process. You're better off trying to find out if a version of that mobi dictionary exists in another input format that Pyglossary supports, as that would make things a lot easier. |
Thanks a lot for your response.
As a foreigner I love the use the En-en dictionary Merriam Webster Advanced Learners on Kindle, I just look for the same for my Kobo, but MW doesn't sell it, and I couldn't find way to convert it from .mobi to Kobo format.
