I would prefer to use the JP one.Īlso of course anything that can be downloaded outside of Amazon easily and used, would be ok too!ġ - I am ideally looking for a dictionary that will cover a wide range of words, as I am interested in not only daily conversation stuff but also fantasy/fiction/obscure books, even a bit of old literature maybe.Ģ - Also it is best if the dictionary provides similar words (alternative writings) for example, some words are usually written as one kanji and a couple of hiragana but you can actually write them as two kanji, etc.ģ - Fast lookup is a bonus of course (more pleasant reading). I have a valid Amazon Japan account and address etc. ・ What are the best Japanese dictionaries (vocabulary, not grammar) that I can buy/download right now (April 2019) for integrated use on an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2018 10th generation?

It also has a night mode that will darken the colors if you are using your Kindle at night. The keyboard adapts its color scheme to the app you’re currently using. You want this one if you are more interested in the appearance of the keyboard. The app is still great and very customizable, so if you’ve had enough of Google or don’t like Gboard, you can give this one a try. Swiftkey is the runner-up, and it was once the most popular custom keyboard a few years back, only to be surpassed by Google’s superior technology and databases.
