"You can set this dictionary as your default Kindle dictionary and look up words while reading. The default setting is The New Oxford American Dictionary included on your Kindle, but you have the option to change your default setting to this compatible dictionary after purchase."

I would also assume now that the Kindle has gone "international" we will start seeing them for other languages and also translation type dictionaries.
