# mobi - library for unpacking unencrypted mobi files
[](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mobi/)
[](https://pepy.tech/project/mobi)
> A fork of [KindleUnpack](https://github.com/kevinhendricks/KindleUnpack) which removes the GUI part and makes it available as a python library via [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/mobi/) for easy unpacking of mobi files.
## Usage
### As library
```python
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
```console
$ mobiunpack
KindleUnpack v0.82
