K3 dictionary feature

kanti_wigmans · 01-07-2011, 05:29 PM

Hi,

I'm not a native English speaker and I'm very happy with the built-in K3 dictionary. I was wondering if there is a way of exporting the words which I looked up in K3 dictionary to a computer, so that it can help to expand my "word bag" with some more practice later on.

Does anybody know that it could be done?

Highlight the words (start from the menu and choose Add a Note or Highlight) and they will be stored in your "My Clippings" file. This is a plain text file that can be copied via USB to your PC.

Hi and welcome to mobileread

If the words are all in amazon bought ebooks then highlight them and when you sync your device they should be available at http://kindle.amazon.com/

Or (I haven't tried this) highlight the words in the actual built-in dictionary because hopefully they will also be backed up at http://kindle.amazon.com/ and under the one book to make it all easier to find.

Hope that helps

Many thanks for your replies. I will definitely try the highlighting.
