Have you solved this problem? I have encountered a similar problem to yours. Reported errors when unpacking an dictionary.

No, and I can not as dictionaries in some of the older formats have never been reverse engineered.
Without examples to work from and the correct before and after html to see, reversing an older dictionary in a language you do not speak is next to impossible.

If this is a project you want to take on I would supply whatever help I could.

[kevinhendricks]

There was an older c based mobi library that did have somewhat better dictionary support. You may still be able to find it on the web.

Thank you for tell me.
Do you mean "mobi library" a program (or script)?Can you tell me its name by the way. I searched "c based mobi library" on Bing but didn't find any useful information.
Finally, let me express my thanks again.

[kevinhendricks]

You might search for "libmobi" on github. It was about 5 years back I saw it though. Perhaps you can find a fork that still exists.
