I imagine that the dictionary that comes with the Kindle is better. It's a very good dictionary, IMHO.

A .mobi dictionary file is very difficult to construct correctly. It isn't just the text of the file, but you have to input special tags to make sure that inflections work, etc. See: http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/articl...e=indexing.htm
