What is the dictionary provided with iBooks in major markets? (UK, US, DE)
I was suggested I will more than likely will not be able to install custom dictionaries on iOS https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=256469
Then the question is - I was not able to find an answer in Google -, what is the name of the dictionary (Merriam Webster, Oxford, etc.) provided by Apple in major markets (UK, US, Germany, for example), and how do I change locale if I want to change between these provided dictionaries? As the devices are not country-coded. |

iOS devices come with monolingual English, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese and Korean dictionaries and bilingual Chinese, Japanese and Korean dictionaries. For details, see the screen capture.

The only question is, what is the rationale the same dictionary is sold in the app store for $15 if you already have it for free; what is the rationale behind it? |

Perhaps for those who want to open it as an app rather than only interact with it while using email, texting, autocorrecting, etc. I personally bought the Oxford English dictionary for that reason.
