Kumabjorn, thanks for the comments, they are very helpful.
Which Kindle are you using? I have a Paperwhite and haven't found any issues.
A few questions on the problems you've encountered:

you can't look up Japanese words directly in the dictionary
|
I've been able to do all of the the following:
- open the dictionary itself, use the search function, type 来る and I am taken to the correct entry.
- open a Japanese book, highlight a word and the dictionary entry pops up
- from the home screen, open the search tool, chose to search in 'dictionaries', type 帰る in the search box, and then tap the arrow next to the search box. I am taken to the correct entry in the dictionary. Note that this type of searching, by specifying to look in only dictionaries, only seems work if my Kindle is set with Japanese as the default language (which requires to rstart the device)
If you can describe the steps to reproduce your issue I will certainly try to address is.

after looking up words in a text [...] and backing out, the next lookup I try is limited to the first character, not the word
|
I'm not sure I understand. When I look up a word I get the dictionary entry as a pop-up, the is no keyboard and I can't see any way to enter any text or use a backspace key.
And yes, I will publish new editions to incorporate changes to EDICT. But as you may know EDICT is updated daily, I won't be making a new edition every day
PS The reason for the odd pricing is probably because I set a base price in USD and amazon figures out the prices for other countries using the current daily exchange rate.
