Change dictionary in kindle?

[kpoviv]

The dictionary that comes with my kindle paperwhite is not very complete. For example I like to read classics. Classical books have many words that are not currently used or are little known today, and every time I translate, the meanings of many complex words do not appear. Is there a way to change from the default dictionary?
I have logged into my Amazon account and went to the dictionaries part of the kindle and there is only one option for my language (Spanish). I feel that this dictionary is old or not complete. There are too many words that do not show their meaning.
I DON'T WANT TO ACTIVATE THE WIFI BECAUSE I ALWAYS FORGET IT ON AND THE NEXT DAY THE BATTERY IS ALMOST 5%.

Get a Spanish dictionary you like and sideload it. The problem might be finding one that can handle the classical books you like.

Yes, you can install new dictionaries and change the default dictionary on your device. For English, Kindles use the Oxford English Dictionary by default, which is a very large one, so it contains most words I look up. For Spanish, Amazon should sell a similar dictionary that is very large and contains most words. You just need to find it, purchase it, and load it onto your Kindle and then set it as your default dictionary.

There's no need to buy Spanish dictionaries. Amazon offers free bilingual and monolingual Spanish dictionaries as optional downloads for all registered Kindle owners:

• Real Academia Española el Diccionario de la lengua española
• Oxford English - Spanish Dictionary
• Oxford Spanish - English Dictionary

For details on how to download them, see this post.
