Other dictionaries? in other languages?
Hi folks,
On of the features I like very much is the instant dictionary. English isn't my native language and, strongly depending on author, I want to use the dictionary when I stumble over a unfamiliar word. I would like to know if this is only possible with the 2 English dictionaries. Or can I install Spanish or French dictionaries as well? I would be very grateful for step by step instructions! Thanks, Len. |

So now I want to buy a few dictionaries, French, German, Portugese (not Brazilian) and Spanish. I am not really sure what exactly to look for or what properties these books should have. Which do you use? And where did you buy them? Thanks again.... Len. |

You can buy dictionaries from the Kindle eBook store.

In the US Kindle Store, see: Kindle Default Dictionaries
It's a little disappointing that more dictionaries are not available after all this time. Most of these have been available for a couple of years. |
