If you want ePub or LRF, you can now use the Calbre GUI to do the conversion from MOBI.
If you want to "explode" the MOBI to HTML for later conversion to some other format, then Calibre's command line tool mobi2oeb (described here) may be your best option. It is very easy to use, from the command shell issue the command: Code:
mobi2oeb -o ebookname ebookname.mobi For information about how to get a command prompt, see Command Prompt Vista/XP/Mac. You would then navigate to the directory containing the MOBI ebook using the cd (change directory) command. I generally copy the full directory path from a window open on the directory and paste it into the command window after the cd. |

Thanks! Only thing is, I think my ebook is too long, it's several thousand pages. I left mobi2oeb running for a while, and came back and I got this:
File "reader.py", line 598, in <module> File "reader.py", line 598, in main File "reader.py", line 196, in extract_content File "re.pyo", line 150, in sub MemoryError Is my ebook just too long? I'm sooo close to getting this out of mobi format this is the last step left I think! |

Another option is mobi2html from MobiPerl. There are binaries for Windows (you don't need to install Perl to run MobiPerl on Windows). The command line is similar to mobi2oeb. First copy mobi2html into your current directory (not necessary if it is already in your command path) and then issue the command:
Code:
mobi2html ebookname.mobi ebookname |

Try using Calibre to convert your eBook to LIT, ePub, or LRF.

![]() However, MobiHuff.py may do the trick. I have converted a ~ 10 MB .prc ebook this way and it worked well. Google for it and read this post afterwards. PM if you are interested and still need some assistance. Last edited by nrapallo; 03-17-2009 at 01:45 PM. |

I've finally figured out that mobi2oeb only exists in Calibre 0.59 and earlier. Is there any way to extract mobi's with high compression with version 0.60+?

I was looking for the extracted html and images so I could make some changes, such as turn off full justification, and use Mobipocket Creator to build it again. I didn't test yet, but I assumed epub output would be different from the extracted mobi html?
