Hello,

I am having a strange problem trying to change my default dictionary.

I just got this Portuguese dictionary (http://www.amazon.com/Dicion%C3%A1ri...2747244&sr=8-1)

I go to menu, and select the priberam Portuguese as the primary dictionary.

I go to a Portuguese text and it won't look up with that dictionary. Instead, it starts trying to use a Spanish dictionary I have installed.

I browse the text of the priberam, move my cursor around and, suddenly, I am able to look up words instantly with the piberam dictionary!

So right now the piberam dictionary only works as a default dictionary inside the piberam dictionary. In other texts (even after explicitly setting it as default dictionary), the Kindle will revert to using a Spanish dictionary!

Let me know if you have any suggestions.
