changing the default dictionary on kindle for android.

reply to thread (closed)
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94785


[temporary solution while the Kindle app is running]

Example with english books
1 Select text, then begin downloading the dictionary in Kindle folder
(THE NEW OXFORD AMERICAN DICTIONARY, PRC file with DRM security)
This dictionary is not visible by the viewer kindle and has a name as such AAA.prc
2 Copy other PRC dictionary (ex. english - portuguese) and has a name as such BBB.prc
3 Swap the names of these files.

The trick is to rename the name of the file that was loaded by default!

ps
this is a temporary solution (tedious), but I think the secret is to add information in the header file that is associated with a kindle PID.

Here others Amazon Dictionary Account

someone has a better solution?

cheers!
