If you don't change the ASIN, the dictionary can be seen in your library, so you can have 2 instances of the same dictionary, one for look up from a book, one in your library. I didn't try this trick with Kindle android.
This thread has aged a bit, but if you're still following it, advise if you know how to locate the FILENAME of the NOAD (New Oxford American Dictionary) on the ANDROID Kindle Reader. I need to locate it to see if I can swap it out with the Concise Oxford Dictionary. It seems well-hidden on my Android, but it pops up when I want to do a look-up, so I know it's there...

Thanks. I'll also post a new topic about this.
