Melhor dicionário para o kindle
Dicionário completo para o kindle, apesar de não ter todas as palavras, foi o dicionário mais completo que achei. Junto com o Oxford e o Merrian Webster que vêm com o kindle de graça, você terá uma leitura sem complicações.

It's not bad
You'd think a dictionary with this many words would have a common literary device defined. Antanaclasis. Polyptoton. Both missing. Seriously? Even their older versions are missing it. Okay, so as offline dictionaries go, this is still my preferred one. It's well-designed and does have all the highschool level words and phrases. You just won't be using this dictionary for higher level literary studies. Specialist dictionaries will need to be on hand, or go with the online ones. It's still a good starting point.

そろそろ英語の辞書を新調する時季になってしまいました
Oxfordの英英辞典を購入したのは２０年近く前になり、英英辞典新調の時季を迎えてしまいました。３６巻セットのOxford英英辞典および2巻簡便セットとを購入した際にはもう新規購入はしなくても良いと思ったのですが・・・英語小説やドイツ語小説の英訳を読んでいると。内容的に不明瞭になってきました。特にVEGAN関係のお料理のレシピ本の場合、英語かドイツ語になり、日本語訳が見つかりません。使われる英語も目新しいものばかりで、手持ちの英英辞典や独英辞典には記述の無いものが目立ってきました。ドイツ語のレシピ本も表紙は英語の表題が使われていますのですが、中身は最新英語と最新ドイツ語が混在しており、独英辞典と英英辞典を併用しています。英語も段々と進歩していますので、日本語訳を待っている時間はありません！
