Re: [tlug] EDICT dictionary on Kindle

[Jim Holloway <irvingholloway@example.com>]

You mentioned that the attempts at building a dictionary were unsuccessful. What's the main issue? The EDICT database is freely distributed. I would imagine you would need to create a good index and be on your way. You could then publish it for free with Amazon's KDP program. I'll look into it as well, however, now that Amazon have a proper kindle/ebook store in Japan, you would think this is already forthcoming by an established publisher.

Thanks for the information! But I guess I should have been more specific and mentioned I was looking for a dictionary for the Kindle Paperwhite, not the Kindle Fire :)

There are two pretty good ones I've found for Android: Offline Dictionaries (for when I can't get a signal or am in a different country) and, of course, the WWWJDIC app.

You might have to reflash the kindle with cyanogen to make them work, but it's possible that you can install them using adb. I don't know exactly how far Amazon has modified Android for the Kindles.

Not a Linux question, but I just received my Kindle from amazon.co.jp and though it comes with a Japanese/Japanese dictionary there is no Japanese/English option available.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to get an Japanese/English for it? Possibly EDICT?

Google turned up only a few hits, and none of the attempts to build a dictionary seem to have been successful.

Thanks!
