Thanks. Mine seems to be named B004H1U2M4_EBOK.mbp on my Android. At least there's nothing else close. I'd spotted it before your reply and renamed the extension, thinking that might clarify its identify as the dictionary, but renaming the extension didn't keep it from functioning. So, as you and others have pointed out, the ASIN is the key, and I gather the ASIN not just that string in the filename. I could change the filename of my other dictionary to match my current default and do a relacement, but your link suggests the process to be a bit more sophisticated than that. If fact, I MOVED the aforementioned file to another directory and renamed another dictionary using the original name, but the Kindle Reader not only doesn't recognize the new dictionary, it continues to find and use the NOAD, even though I moved it to another directory,

Mobi2Mob1's screen capture in the link you sent didn't seem to have a specific field for changing ASIN, or did I just miss it?

Again, thanks.
