Comments.Text: Not sure what you want to do with the text once you get it, but it is possible the conversion routines are expecting a standard book and not really handling a dictionary. You might have better luck if you downloaded calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com) and use the KindleUnPack plugin to simply extract the html files from the mobi file and then use some other tool to remove the html tags from that.

  1. Install (or use a portable version) of a .mobi reader application such as [Okular](https://okular.kde.org/), or [Document Viewer](https://www.androidsis.com/en/apps-to-view-and-edit-android-documents/).
  2. Select all text (`Clr``A` in *Okular*) in the viewer.
  3. Copy it (`Clr``C` in *Okular*).
  4. Paste from clipboard into a text editor, such as [Notepad++ for Windows](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/) or [Kate for Linux](https://kate-editor.org/) or Monospace for Android.
  
  *Voilà, c'est fini.*
  
  Of course, this only applies to *unprotected* .mobi files, i.e., without DRM.
