I find this very interesting, as long as they only due it for target marketing I am fine with this. However, in the future I may be include to change the title and remove the meta date when I send a book to my Kindle.
Anyone else had this issue?

Have you browsed this series on Amazon previously? They collect browsing data as well as buying data, so it might not
necessarily mean they got the data from your Kindle.

You can only use one dictionary at a time with the Kindle - i.e. you have to set the default dictionary. You can have several loaded on it of course, but only the default can be used for instant, inter-page lookup. It's quite easy to change and the procedure is described in the manual.
Amazon sells '
Kindle Default Dictionaries' which should work, and you can get a French-English default dictionary.
There have been issues with some translation dictionaries; it appears that the input language must be English. If the dictionary is without DRM, that can fixed by manually changing the input language code to English. I did it for a german-english dictionary -
see here, read post 28 and onward. As long as Kindle can find the word in the dictionary, it works fine.
