I'm not clear on that. I looked up dictionary in Kindle store and there are quite a few books with that in the title. But, I don't think many of them were your basic "definition of words" dictionary. There were some translation dictionaries too. However, I don't know which ones can actually be installed and used for the dictionary lookup feature.

However, I don't know that above because I have found the included _The New Oxford American Dictionary_ to be fine for any use I have put it to... which is not really a lot, but more than I expected.

Perhaps someone else can answer this better than I.
