Chinese language books are increasingly available on Amazon.com and of course on www.amazon.cn/ (亚马逊中国-Amazon China). Although Amazon provides free chinese-chinese and chinese-english dictionaries, they are of limited use for learners of Chinese because the all-chinese dictionary gives definitions only in Chinese and the Amazon chinese-english dictionary includes little, if any, hanyu pinyin pronunciation information. The Amazon dictionaries are for simplified characters only, which makes reading texts in traditional characters difficult on Kindle.
The LXM Chinese-English Instant-Lookup Dictionary for Kindle is designed to make it quicker and easier to read Chinese texts on the Kindle Paperwhite/Voyager ebook readers by providing versions for instant lookup of either traditional or simplified characters with English definitions and hanyu pinyin for all entries.
How to Search: First set the LXM Dictionary as the default dictionary for Chinese; then from within a Chinese-text ebook, HIGHLIGHT the characters desired, and the entry will pop up.
Entries include the traditional or simplified headword characters, the simplified- or traditional-character equivalent, the pronunciation in hanyu pinyin, and definitions and glosses in English. Entries can be highlighted and saved for review or use in the Kindle Vocabulary Builder. Saved entries can in turn be imported into programs such as the Kindle Mate Kindle Clippings and Vocabulary Builder Manager (see http://kmate.me), which provides tools to export to the file format used in the Anki flash-card system.
