Dear Lucas Corso,
Many thanks for your detailled reply. As you say, the conversion/modification process is complicated. Certainly beyond my limited computer expertise. Perhaps if a competent person started it off, sections could be farmed out to those , lesser skilled, to do the spade work.
As a compromise, what I'm doing now is to keep my laptop running, while I'm reading the Kindle and use the Harrap's on my hard-drive. If the Harrap's does not have the word I'm seeking, I've found a site called
www.dictionaryreverso.net to be the most likely site to give me what I'm looking for.
On a slightly different subject; I've been looking for a French source of E=books. I particularly want to obtain book by Marcel Pagnol. Have you any ideas?
Kind regards.
