Kindle Dictionary

I loaded the Kindle app to my iPhone several months ago and bought an ebook the same day. Either loading the app or buying the book (I can't tell which) triggered loading of the American dictionary. The dictionary appeared on the app home page and I've found it very useful indeed.

Yesterday, when I opend the app after not using it for a couple of weeks, I got a message saying that the dictionary was no longer visible on the home page but that it could still be used by highlighting a word in whatever ebook I was reading. That's true, it does work, but that would only be about 10% of my usage of the disctionary.

Two things have happened since the last time I used the dictionary on the iPhone :
1. I loaded a Kindle reader to my laptop and bought one book for it.
2. Amazon have released, and I've loaded, an update to the iPhone app.

Can anyone suggest why the dictionary might have vanished from the accessible area when it is still obviously present in the iPhone? It seems likely that the loss of direct access is related to either(1) or (2) above. I've lost access to a rather valuable resource.

TIA

John
