Wordreference is the best online dictionary out there, it’s free and works very well with multiple languages. Recently I saw this post on their forum dictionary for kindle devices , and its an old post (2011).

The idea was to “compile” wordreference - let’s say english - dictionary into a .mobi file and put it in kindle so you could use it offline as your kindle dictionary.

Does anyone know how to do that? Or is there already a solution to this out there?

It would be amazing to use wordreference offline on kindle as a tool to learn other languages.

I agree. I used it to move my vocab on enormously.

You might have better luck searching on the mobileread forums. Plenty of kindle hacks there.
