In early 2025, I decided to read more in English and improve my language skills. I bought a Kindle, but I was disappointed with its built-in English-German dictionary. It only provided single-word translations without showing all possible meanings. Furthermore, you need to swipe twice to the right to get to the translation.

After a quick research, I found this dictionary for just € 2,99. After purchase and download, you can select it instead of the “Oxford Dictionary of English” (Settings —> Device options —> Languages and dictionaries —> Dictionaries). No more swiping right twice and much better translation.

Another neat Kindle feature is the vocabulary builder. Long-pressing a word automatically adds it to this tool, where you can practice with flashcards. The vocabulary builder even displays the original sentence from which you added each word. But so far, I did not use the vocabulary builder much to be honest.
