Kindle App For Pc
To change the view from a list of words to the list of books in which you’ve searched for words, tap Books at the top of the screen. The screen shown in the figure below appears. Tap the arrow to the right of a book’s title to see all the words you researched in that book. You can then tap a word to see its definition and its usage in the book.
Your Kindle Paperwhite includes a Flashcards feature to help you learn the words on your vocabulary list. As shown on the bottom of the first figure in this article, tap Flashcards to display a screen like the one shown in the following figure. Use the arrows or swipe to page forward and backward through the list. Each flashcard shows the word in context in the book you were reading — if you can’t remember the definition, tap See Definition to refresh your memory. When you’ve learned the word, tap Mark as Mastered to remove it from the active list. Tap Exit Flashcards in the upper left to return to the active word list.
You can also mark a word as Mastered from the Dictionary definition screen.
Vocabulary Builder appears on your Home screen in your list of books. Tap Vocabulary Builder to open it, just as you would a book. You can access Vocabulary Builder (after you’ve activated it the first time) also from the menu. If your list on the Home screen is sorted by Recent and Vocabulary Builder is the most recent item you’ve viewed, it will be at the top of the list. If your Home screen is sorted by Collections, Vocabulary Builder will be the first item in the list after the listing of collections.
As noted, Vocabulary Builder is turned on by default. To turn it off, tap Menu→Settings→Reading Options. Switch the toggle to Off. Now Vocabulary Builder will not appear on your Home screen and the menu option for Vocabulary Builder will appear dimmed. Any words you look up in the dictionary will not be added to your vocabulary list, but any words you’ve looked up previously will be retained.
One primary reason that I like reading on Kindle is the utterly convenient dictionary feature. To look up the definition of a strange word on Kindle, we just need to press and hold on the word. But sometimes the default dictionary doesn't work very well especially when it meets some plural nouns or past participle.
Here we are going to introduce how to add or change the Kindle dictionary. German version please refer to Wie man ein Wörterbuch in Kindle ändert oder hinzufügt.
Add Dictionary to Kindle
1Download the dictionary file to computer
The dictionary for Kindle is actually a .mobi file, which can be downloaded freely from the internet or bought from Amazon Kindle Store. Here I got a Collins Cobuild V3 dictionary file. Yes I like Collins dictionary since my college years.
2Plug Kindle to computer with USB Cable
Every Kindle user should have a USB cable in the box which is shipped with the device. Find it and use it to connect Kindle and computer. Seconds later there will generate a Removable Disk called 'Kindle'. Open it and find 'documentsdictionaries' folder.
3Paste the dictionary file into the 'dictionaries' folder

Now all the steps on computer are finished. The following job is to make the dictionary file work on Kindle.
Change the default Kindle dictionary
Different generation of Kindle should be set in different ways. Do it as the list below:

- Kindle 3: Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Change Primary Dictionary

- Kindle Paperwhite/Kindle Voyage/$79 Kindle: Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Device Options -> Language and Dictionaries -> Dictionaries
- Kindle Oasis: Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Language and Dictionaries -> Dictionaries
As I am using a Kindle Paperwhite at the moment, so I am going to take Kindle Paperwhite for example and introduce the process. And let's start with the 'Dictionaries' screen.
Press the 'Dictionaries' option, and we can see the default Kindle dictionary - 'Oxford Dictionary of English'.
By pressing it we can change the primary dictionary of english. As the screen shows below, 'Oxford Dictionary of English' is defaultly chosen and we need to switch to 'collins3', which is recently imported by me.
Then back to the previous screen we can see the default dictionary for english has been changed.
Now let's check the result. Archicad 17 ita mac download.

Want to add foreign language dictionary to Kindle?
No problem! And the steps are pretty similar to the above. Suppose I am reading a book written in french, so I need a french-english dictionary.
First we need to download a french to english dictionary file, then transfer to the Kindle dictionary folder. As this is the first french dictionary in my Kindle, I need not to change any settings. The Kindle will choose this file as the primary dictionary for french language.
Then open a french book, press and hold on a word I don't know the definition, and see what happens.
