If you drill down to "Reference › Dictionaries & Thesauruses" there are 200 entries, most of these are not dictionaries at all and most of the actual dictionaries cannot be used as the Kindle's "primary" dictionary. There do now seem to be a few dictionaries that can act as the primary dictionary (no easy way to find them though), but I agree with HarryT that there is no comparison between the few dictionaries available for the Kindle and the many available for all other MOBI-based devices.

See Wiki > Kindle Myths and Partial Truths > Only One Dictionary is available for the Kindle.
