I wonder if it's possible to use a dictionary purchased from the Amazon Kindle Store (for example, this one) in KOReader. It looks like the dictionary downloaded to my Kindle is in some "azw" format, not the "stardict" format KOReader supports. However, the stock reader in Kindle supports the "azw" dictionaries in "Settings > Language & Dictionaries > Dictionaries".
How do I convert "azw" to "stardict"? What are these "azw" files anyway, a generic format for e-books, or a specialized format for dictionaries? |

I've actually managed to pull it off and I have written a manual for my future self. However I won't be at home until next week. If you remind me about it next weel then I'll post the instructions here.
I've also managed to get Rakuten Serif font to work in Koreader lol. |

Thanks Ebookus for suggesting pyglossary; that looks promising!
DJUNGELSKOG, please post the instructions once you have time! I'm sure many people like me will benefit from this. |
