Hi All,
Sorry to be a pain but I was advised to start a new thread as the latest post in the thread I entered was in February 2012. But how to start a new thread? Couldn't find that answer on MR or by googling. Maybe I was in too much of a hurry.

Anyhow, I give my problem here and perhaps some kind soul can help!

I've been trying to install a downloaded Swedish dictionary on my new Kindle Touch via Calibre, with my Macbook, but have had no success.

I checked out Doitsu's post, as well as Terry Lang's, did as instructed and changed the Preferences reference in Calibre to Swedish.
I then tried downloading the ePub version of the dictionary (the pdf version encountered a problem when Calibre tried to convert it to .mobi - don't know what the problem was here but the conversion process went on and on and when I looked at the progress bar, there was none!), converted it in Calibre to .mobi and transferred it to my KT. But it doesn't work.

Hope someone can tell me what I shd be doing!
