It might also work with a Fire HD (or a Kindle app), if you:

1. Rename your custom dictionary so that it has the same name as one of the original monolingual dictionaries.

2. Change its ASIN with JMME so that it also matches the ASIN of the dictionary that you're going to replace it with.

3. Replace one of the original dictionaries with your custom dictionary.

According to some Kindle Fire users, the second step isn't necessary, but I doubt it, because it's necessary for Kindle apps.

For Dutch this is a moot point anyway, because no freeware dictionary is as good as the van Dale dictionaries.

You might have to reset the device and reinstall all apps. Why don't you ask in the Kindle Fire forum, if someone has already done this?
