I find a way to upload your own dictionary to replace the default one in Kindle App. The key is the ASIN field (in the EXTH block) in the mobi dictionary file.

Just download or find a satisfied dictionary and update its ASIN to B003ODIZL6, which is the one used by default dictionary: B003ODIZL6_EBOK.azw.

Then upload the dictionary file to Kindle App like you sideload other ebooks and remove B003ODIZL6_EBOK.* from eBooks directory.

After restarting Kindle, you can start to use your new dictionary!
