Bilingual w/Dictionaries

I made an amazing discovery, which everyone else probably knows, about using multiple dictionaries. For years, I've enjoyed reading novels from Britain and the U.S. so I have had two Oxford dictionaries and switch between them depending on the origin of the book. I do this mostly because of the slang terms being used.

I want to read some books in Spanish and my Spanish is terrible. I couldn't get the Spanish/English dictionary on the collection with the English dictionaries. It's all by itself.

Then I discovered that if I'm reading a book in Spanish and need to look up a word the Kindle automatically default to the Spanish dictionary. When I got back to reading a novel in English the Kindle automatically defaults to the two English dictionaries.

I was amazed and pleased.
