but as you are from non amazon store area there is a 99% chance customer support will remove ads for free if you ask them politely, many of us (Croatia) done that, none were declined (mine PW3 was from Germany).
if you insist on buying free one, then you can use german resend/repack service called mailboxde - they will give you german address, you buy kindle from amazon.de and with some additional fee (no more then 15euro) you'll have it in Sweden via UPS or DHL - reliable and proven way

In addition to the excellent information already given by Doitsu, you might want to take a look at the "Dictionary FAQ" sticky in this subforum, which includes links to guides for creating your own dictionary, and sources for stardict dictionaries to convert... as well as some free dictionaries already uploaded here on MobileRead and elsewhere on the internet. |

Thank you very much for the help. I think I will go ahead and buy it at Webbhallen.
The only question that I have is how to determine which dictionaries I am allowed to download for free. Looking in "Managing contents" and "Dictionaries&User Guides", there were no dictionaries.
How do I determine which dictionaries I can download for free?
Or will I only see the list of free dictionaries after I have bought and registered my Paperwhite on Amazon?
