Use your Kindle Dictionaries on desktop

Hi HN, I wrote a desktop application (works on Linux, macOS and Windows) to use your Kindle dictionaries (either azw or mobi format). To start using it just put your dictionaries under $HOME/Dictionaries and they'll be available in the UI. I hope you find it useful. Any feedback/testing is welcome. Source & binaries available at https://github.com/ismail/mobidict/
