I sadly haven't had time, also a bit demotivated due to being kind of stuck.

I'm pretty sure that a non kindlegen MOBI serializer would be needed. Calibre has a custom one but I'm pretty sure that doesn't support the indicies that are used for dictionaries. Libmobi may be something that could possibly do this but since both C and working with binary formats is foreign to me I have yet to make the time investment needer for this.

There is also the concern that even if you could build the MOBI dictionary with all of those indices that maybe the kindle wouldn't be able to handle it? I mostly think that it's rather about the kindlegen software being ancient though.

For now I just have the dictionary split into 3 on my Kindle, which isn't very nice to use but is better than nothing.
