Since the Kindle Paperwhite has the Daijisen J-J dictionary, I was wondering if it's possible to get it on Kindle 3 (which is nowadays called Kindle Keyboard)?

I updated my Kindle to the newest firmware 3.4 (which came out in the fall 2012), but there were no Japanese dictionaries included in the update.

I also tried downloading a copy of daijisen (google daijisen prc), but it didn't work, because it is "licensed to a different user". I just want a J-J dictionary, it doesn't matter if I have to buy one or download one illegally.

EDIT: Amazon replied and said "I am sorry at this time kindle keyboard won't support Japanese dictionary." Has anyone made their own J-J dictionary? There is one J-E floating around, but it can only search in romaji :/

In case this is of interest, I've published a J-E dictionary that works with kanji for the Paperwhite. That being said I don't have a K3 to test with so can't vouch that it will work 100% on a K3. From a technical point I don't see any issues but I can't promise.

As an option, I have heard that Amazon allows you to return e-books for a full refund. If that's correct you could buy the dictionary (or borrow it using the lending library) and if it doesn't suit your needs return it?

You can find it here:

PS If you do end up trying it on your K3 I'd love to hear any feedback you might have.
