In that case, I misunderstood your problem. I assumed that when you looked up words in Spanish books (by clicking on them) the definitions from a monolingual dictionary (or another dictionary) would be displayed.

Does this problem occur with all books or only some of them? If it only happens with some of the books, chances are the document language was set to English or "undefined." If the problem occurs with all the books, the dictionary lookup index might be faulty. In that case find some specific words whose definitions are in the dictionary but don't show up in the search index and report these issues to the publisher.

Of course, I didn't suggest you own a monolingual dictionary, however, since Amazon provides free monolingual dictionaries for English (UK & US), French, Italian, German, Spanish and Portuguese, it couldn't hurt to download monolingual dictionaries for the languages that you're interested in.
Depending on the Kindle app, these foreign language dictionaries are either downloaded on demand, when you look up a word in a foreign language book by selecting it or they need to be downloaded from the Archived Items page.
(The free monolingual Spanish dictionary is the DRAE - Diccionario de la lengua española - Vigésima segunda edición.)
