Alibaba32,

The definition should appear at the bottom or top of the screen as soon as you move the cursor next to the desired word. Hitting "enter" should bring up the page in the dictionary itself and a more fuller definition. At least, that's how it works on my K2 & K3.

kuris,

The Kindle should have arrived with the dictionary ready-to-use. Did you change any of the settings? Whether you did or not, I'd contact Kindle Support immediately. In my experience, Amazon's support service is remarkable. If I thought any more highly of it, I'd be accused of being a company plant.

You can reach them at 1-206-266-0927 (members inside the United States can reach them at 1-866-321-8851).

Best wishes!
