I wrote Amazon CS and asked if the "New American Oxford Dictionary" they are selling in the Kindle store is the same as the one installed in the Kindle or an abridged version.

Hello,
Kindle comes with "The New Oxford American Dictionary" already on your Kindle. It's formatted to work specifically with Kindle's Look Up and Search functions.
Other dictionaries are available from the Kindle Store for general use and reference:

I hope this helps. Thanks for choosing Kindle!

I contacted them again and told them that they did
not answer my question. I also asked why it was being sold in the Kindle store if it is the same dictionary.

Hello,
I am sorry that our previous email did not answer your question. Although it seems to me that both dictionaries are the same, I am not 100% sure that they are. I am going to research this more to find out for you.
Thank you for choosing Kindle.

So for now the answer is "we don't know, we'll get back to you". I'll post when I learn more.
