mobi - library for unpacking unencrypted mobi files
A fork of KindleUnpack which removes the GUI part and makes it available as a python library via PyPi for easy unpacking of mobi files.
Usage
As library
import mobi
tempdir, filepath = mobi.extract("mybook.mobi")'tempdir' is the path where the mobi is unpacked 'filepath' is the path to either an epub, html or pdf file depending on the mobi type
| NOTE: You are responsible to delete the generated tempdir! |
|---|
From the command line
The installer also creates a console script entrypoint that wraps the original KindleUnpack
