Unfortunately, that's the default behavior of the lookup feature. Unlike Mobipocket Reader, the Kindle will only display the first match.

This is not a limitation of the dictionary, but a limitation of the Kindle's dictionary software. The number of definitions displayed is limited by the available space. You'll need to press the Enter key to see the preceding and following definitions.
