How do I create my own Dictionary for Kindle Paperwhite
Hello there! I am wondering if it is possible to create my own Dictionary for the kindle paperwhite. The reason is, I am always reading book series, and if I could create my own dictionary, I could use that as a "type" of x-ray for the book (I use the Wikipedia for a dictionary any ways)
Is this possible? and if so, could you explain it to me? thanks!

and the FAQ about dictionary does not help me much at all with it. I am not sure what they mean. thanks!

Maybe you should check a dictionary.



I know. That was awful.

Which part of this wasn't clear enough?

Yes. If you have a tab deliminated txt file, or a stardict dictionary it's quite easy.
And the mobipocket guide:
Just follow the links, they explain clearly how to format and compose dictionaries.

Which specific parts of the Mobipocket documentation don't you understand? If you can clarify that, people will be able to help you.
