thanks for your help  |
You can't order your Kindle with other dictionaries. But you can install your own dictionaries, as soon as you get your Kindle.
Any standard Mobipocket dictionary will do. You may have to strip it from DRM (copy protection), which is an easy procedure. Then you simply add it to Kindle and define it as the (new) standard dictionary. No modification needed, no "hacking" necessary. I've bought a German-English dictionary from here:
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/...sp?Language=DE
A Spanish one should be available here: http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/...sp?Language=ES
A French one should be available here: http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/...sp?Language=FR
BTW: The reader doesn't automatically switch languages. Whether you point to an English, French or Spanish word, it always will use the dictionary, you've defined as the standard.
