I'm tired of looking up words on my kindle and finding that they are not available in the default dictionary. Does anyone have a far more complete dictionary that they are using on their ereader?

Regular dictionary breaks the flow of reading too much.

I'm looking for a dictionary I can add into the reader so I can just define it by pressing down my finger.

I read on a chair, holding a physical book and laptop on my knees behind it. It's comfortable and convenient.

Most of the time I spend reading, I am not even at home or in a position where this is possible. And even when I am, reading time is reading time and that is all I want to be focused on. The internet is just too much of a distraction and the little time I spend here is enough of a pull on my mental health as it is.
>>7429936
That is the default. When they get their shit together and include more words then I'll use it. Until then, I am looking for other options

>>7429891
I'm also interested, but what are you reading? It happens on occasion, but mostly, even archaic words are in it- better than my browser dictionary.

It happens all the time with Cormac McCarthy and Pynchon. I realize they both have the tendency to make up words and stretch the lexical limits, but there are quite a few that I come across that feel like they should be in there. Often I will later look them up online and I will be able to find the definitions on dictionary.com or some place.

I'm just looking for something that is or at least bills itself as comprehensive so that I don't have to worry about it as much. It feels like something that should exist.

I use a dictionary app on my phone. Saves all my searches so I can review them. Really helps with retention

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
