This so far works fine.
The point is, that on my device I do not see the arrow in the first line of my pop up screen, so that I can not choose another one (in case the word is not in my default dictionary or I want further background information of a word).
Normally there should be this window with the arrow:
"While looking up a word on the new Kindle Paperwhite (by tapping on it), you’ll see a little popup with a headline containing the name of your current dictionary. Next to the dictionary’s name, there’s a little arrow.
kindle-paperwhite-dictionary
By tapping the arrow, you get a list of all your currently installed dictionaries:"
Or do your answer mean, that this functionality is working only on the old 2012 PW? That would - from my point of view - not make any sense.

That is the one major defect of the PW 2013 - it only allows ONE dictionary at a time. The PW 2012 allows TWO. I own both units.
On the PW 2012 I use BOTH the Bible Encyclopedia and the New Oxford American Dictionary. On the PW 2013 I must CHANGE dictionaries when I need the Bible Encyclopedia.
