There are a number of excellent Dictionaries and Encyclopedias available for the MobiPocket reader, from which I'm a reluctant refugee to the Kindle Android Reader. I've NOT found such a good selection of Encyclopedias in the Kindle Store, and the Dictionaries I've tried (as trials) on my Kindle Reader for Android did not allow me to navigate or search properly. They were useless, even though they were described as being for the Kindle Android platform.

Can anyone please tell me if the Kindle devices themselves are able to properly able to navigate and search external (i.e., non-built-in) Dictionaries and/or Encyclopedias? I don't own a Kindle device, and don't plan to, as I'm really enjoying carrying and keeping up with only once device for a change. I'm generally very pleased with the Kindle Android Reader but am curious to learn if the navigation limitations are specific to the Kindle Android Reader or to the entire Kindle platform. It would be odd if the limitations were general, as the Kindle file-format is the same as Mobipocket's (minor DRM difference noted).

While I appreciate the recent addition of a built-in dictionary on the Kindle Android Reader, I like to be able to open a dictionary like any other book, not just as a definition look-up from within another book.

I posted here as I assume users of the actual Kindle devices would have sorted this issue. Many thanks.
