I refer to thefreedictionary.com a lot for online read lookup. Yet e-ink is more comfortable for reading and better on the eyes as well, so Im trying to read on Kindle Paperwhite. One thing concerning me is that I dont know how to use thefreedictionary on Paperwhite. I see that you can change default dectionary, but Paperwhite isnt available for sale on Amazon that means you have prepare it by yourself? I also understand Paperwhite's format is mobi so I just need to get thefreedictionary as a mobi file? Thats what Im trying to do, but seems I cant find it nowhere!? At the bottom of the site of thefreedictionary.com they say they are available for and have app for Kindle, but its for Kindle Fire, not for Paperwhite! I know Kindle Fire runs on Android ant it app format is called SDK file? So just neet convert the SDK file into a mobi file, but how, and even possible? Or shouldnt there be other better ways, like what I need is basically just a mobi file of thefreedictionary, right? So anybody knows the location of thefreedictionary's mobi file? Im pretty at lost. Just want use my fav thefreedictionary on Paperwhite. Help and advise me, if somebody knows a way to set thefreedictionary as Paperwhite's dictinary please?
