How Kindle Paperwhite 2018 folder structure works?
Hi!
Would like to ask how the Kindle Paperwhite 2018 folder structure works. For example i downloaded some dictionaries from the Kindle Store directly and now they are into Download folder and dictionaries folder is empty. So how the folders work in the Kindle Paperwhite 2018? |

You need to add a dictionary using the correct method.
Go to Content & Devices page on Amazon, find the dictionary on your Kindle account that you wish to use, and send it to that Kindle. Then, on the Kindle itself, go to Settings, Language & Dictionaries, Dictionaries, and tap the one you want to use. |

When you follow the directions posted by Deskisamess and connect your kindle to wifi, your kindle will get the dictionary from amazon and install it. After the, the dictionary will be in the dictionaries folder. Just putting a file in the folder does not install it.

I don't even see a Dictionary folder on my Paperwhite or Oasis.

Tried exactly with the steps suggested by @Deskisamess but the new dictionary goes into the Downloads folder. Dictionaris folder is still empty. It's just a matter of curiosity because the dictionaries installed works fine.
