Hi,

I am wondering if its possible to change the format of an ebook to be that of a default dictionary on a kindle. I have a physics dictionary in ebook format.

When you highlight a word on a kindle, it will bring up the dictionary and give the meaning of the word. I want to highlight a scientific term, for instance 'momentum' and for a physics dictionary to bring up information the ebook has on the term like equations etc. instead of the english dictionary giving me the meaning of momentum.

I am unable to find a physics dictionary on the amazon store that specifically states it can be used as a default dictionary.
