Next time I tried to look up a word on the Fire, Moonreader found it and no longer tried to go to Amazon.

Caution: I have no idea if that was the "right" thing to do. Made it up myself, but so far it's working fine for me. I'd give you more specifics but it was a few months ago I did it and can no longer remember exactly. But definitely no rocket science involved.
I do this with every new device. You can copy the DictData folder from a previous installation of ColorDict and it will install all dictionaries in that folder in the new Colordict when you first open the ColorDict app it will say it's Indexing the dictionaries. I have multiple dictionaries I use with Colordict so this is the best method for me than to reinstall them all again one by one.
