To follow up on this post. I have been investigating and calling Amazon and Van Dale (of the prominent Dutch dictionaries) and it seems that now all Kindles from 2013 and newer have the Dutch dictionary installed once upgraded to the version after 5.4.4.2 (which is 5.6.0.1.6). So that's good news for those that have a newer Kindle.

I, however, have a first gen Paperwhite (2012) which only goes to 5.4.4.2 and I won't be able to get this update unless I buy a new Kindle. Is there a way to extract that dictionary from a newer Kindle and install it, use it on my first gen Paperwhite? Any input would be much appreciated.
