I have been experimenting with those tools to make
a copy myself, with  a view to making a weekly updated
version to put into distribution.

I looked at the results using the Kindle Previewer, but:

(a) I couldn't search by kana or kanji. I suspect this is
a shortcoming of the previewer;

(b) it looked as though there were only ~118k entries
included instead of the full ~170k.

I have put my version at:
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/edict2.mobi
Can someone with a Kindle try it out and check on
(a) and (b) above for me?

TIA

Jim
