I wasn't either until I was browsing around Fictionwise and Booksonboard, pricing out the different books I want to buy, once my book budget recovers from the Gen3 Purchase
. Saw a few of the dictionaries available for secure Mobipocket and MS Lit.
Until then I'm using the GCIDE dictionary that's available for free.
But I think a few people have tried using the GCIDE or other dictionaries in the kindle, but it appears that it will only accept one dictionary at a time, so you need to replace the one that is already on it. But that's just conjecture and half remembered posts on my part
.
Perhaps someone with a kindle, who has actually tried putting ina new dictionary could comment on it.
