I was thinking that the only way to have text and translation in front of me is to open the book twice ( one with the Kindle reader on the tablet and the other from the Cloud) .
Here is where I ran into the problem of not being able to access the Kindle Cloud from the tablet.

The first solution I had originally thought of was convcrting the . Mobi ( or .prc /azw ) version into EPUB format and read it with my regular e-book reader. . This way I could open the original .mobi version in the Kindle reader and the converted .epub version in the other and read the two simultaneously, without playing with the bookmarks, by using the split screen feature on the tablet ( Xposed installer/Xmultiwindow). .

I have already done this in the past for a couple of Kindle books and it works, but I am hesitant now to use this method , because it requires playing with the DRM and I don’t want to run into legal problems, even though it would only be for study reasons and not commercial purposes. (In fact hundreds of people do it and there are even softwares for this like Epubor).

Besides, I am having problems now in retrieving the .prc files of the new Kindle books I downloaded .I used to find them in the storage device memory, but they are no longer there , only .asc or other uworkable, not convertibles files, like . phl files .

With this information, you can perhaps confirm to me if the Amazon Drive and /or the Dropbox or similar other Cloud storage facilities you suggested are suitable to my purpose or if I am wasting my time.

Thanks

Buy a second cheap tablet or an ereader. Then open one book on each so they are side by side. Or use your tablet and computer at the same time.
Best suggestion I have.
