a German-English dictionary (it says English-German, but describes it as appropriate for those learning German)Īfter you buy the dictionary and download it to your Kindle, it’s easy to switch.The Kindle store has a section for Default Dictionaries.

I even started a thread in the Amazon Kindle forum called Words my Kindle taught me. I’ll admit it: every once in awhile, I can’t remember which 18th century carriage is which. It turned out that I was wrong, and I do use it from time to time…and it’s very satisfying when it does know a word I don’t. So, in my egotism, I thought the dictionary function of the Kindle just wasn’t going to be that useful for me. Byrne’s Dictionary of Unusual, Obsure, and Preposterous Words (which has apparently evolved into this…and isn’t available for the Kindle).
