i'd like a Swedish-English dictionary (niche, i know), and I can't find one anywhere - the only one on amazon doesn't seem to work with the functionality it should - ie. being able to look up words in the text of an ebook. There's a GNU dictionary

http://folkets-lexikon.csc.kth.se/fo...ets_public.xml

which can provide an xml file, but it's not a comma del text file, as some of the software discussed here appears to require. I wonder if there's anyone who can point to how I might go about compiling this xml list into a functional ebook that can be used on the kindle in the same way that the english dictionary that comes free (with the K3) does. I am a complete beginner, btw.

I've got a Mac, should that make any difference, and a K3.

Advice would be super, Thanks!
