Not true.

I have already made a change to mobils to allow it to work with azw3.

Before yesterday you went over 10 years since your last post to this thread. Please give it another 10 if you are unwilling to post useful, relevant, and factual information.

I probably have earlier versions around somewhere if you'd like.

[Edit: mobiunpack.py 0.02 from 2009 attached]

[Wow - it got a lot bigger from Nov. 2009 to Oct. 2011!]

Thanks! I'll give it a look. (I guess mobiunpack.py eventually morphed into kindleunpack?)

It did indeed.

Very cool! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I cut my mobi teeth on these modules, so I would hate to see them disappear. I've kept the source for 0.43 in my own backups for safekeeping, but it's good to know it will live on on github.

Thanks, that means a lot to me.

I've released version 0.0.44 on github
https://github.com/jps-e/mobi-perl

The only coding changes are in mobils, so I have attached that here.

Version 0.0.44:

- Added automatic processing of azw and azw3 files in mobils when no
filename has been supplied.

- Added flag -d to mobils to enable debug prints.

- Added files License.txt and gpl-2.0.txt to reflect the change in
license from GPL3 or later to GPL2 or later in 0.0.41
