Really interesting project! I actually gave it a try and got some mobi files. However, I got this issue when converting to mobi on Ubuntu 18.04:

  Output saved to   /home/auraham/Kindle/hn30357788.mobi

Thanks for checking out!

It's likely that the trailing slash wasn't included in the .mobi path set by you.

Can you try this?

  ./hntoebook -c

  /home/auraham/Kindle/hn/

If you still receive any error, Deleting the 'db' folder can help. If it didn't I'd be happy to receive a bug report over GitHub.

I've updated(v0.0.3) the database to from bitcask to badger for lesser CGO dependencies, This should result in lesser cross-platform quirks if any. Please delete the db folder before trying the new version.
