I’m planning to get me a Kindle. I’m German, and I’m used to the Babelfish add-on for Firefox where you get an online translation for any word you double-click instantly, to the degree that I frequently have brain farts when reading a physical English book in which I try to do the same before I come to my senses and grab a dictionary. But is this possible with a Kindle? If not, what is the fastest way to look up a word in a dictionary?
You can have a number of dictionaries on the Kindle. For a quick lookup while reading, just move the cursor to a word within the text, and it looks it up for you in the dictionary you have set as default.
You’d also need this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C4468W?ie=UTF8&tag=blogkindle0e-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B004C4468W
Great, thanks for the prompt answer. This makes my anticipation for the Kindle even grow stronger, but I’ll have to wait like a good kid, because I want to have it as gift for Christmas.
