Converting a kindle dictionary to work with koreader on Kobo?

Thorns · 10-16-2024, 04:32 PM

So I purchased a kindle dictionary a while back here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07...b_b_asin_image

And I'd really like to use it with koreader.

Is there any steps I can do to make this possible? I understand I need to remove the drm using calibre, but how would I done transfer it to the same format as koreader?

Would love any help

So it was the azw3 format but when removing the drm I can convert it to whatever calibre allows me to. Should I do it in mobi?

EPUB is generally the preferred format if you have a choice, but if it's a simple Mobi it should work fine.

So i managed to "unpack" the file, but when running the mobi to stardict I get this:

python mobi2stardict.py --fix-links --dict-name "French To English Advanced" --html-file "book.html"
Not a dictionary file.

Anyone know what could be going wrong? I'm sure the DRM is off as I can open the file elsewhere and the html file looks like the dictionary too, so I'm not sure.

Anyone have any tips please?

Sorry, I'd glanced over the OP. If you want a dictionary you need stardict format as per the previously linked post.
