If you already have a MOBI in dictionary format, it should be as easy as adding it like any other book. IIRC it will automatically be sorted into your dictionaries list.

But when i add it into my kindle paperwhite , it shows just like book. And there is no dictionary which i added. I downloaded the dictionary from online free ,so i assume that the problem is that the mobi dictionary isnt proper in dictionary format. If so, what should i do ??.

It isn't in the right format then.

Unless someone beats me to it, I will hunt up some resources about this, in the morning. IIRC there was some discussion somewhere here a while back about a tool for building MOBI dictionaries.

Going to bed now.
