Hi all,
Does the built-in Kindle dictionary work with non-Kindle e-books? I am particularly asking about .mobi files, either downloaded from a site like manybooks.net or converted via Calibre?
I am thinking of getting a Kindle, but the ability to use the "point-and-define" feature is essential... If it's limited to native .azw files only, then it's a no-go.
Your input is greatly appreciated!
Yuri
