![]() I can't put all that stuff on my Kindle or my smart phone ( app may not be available for Kindle). There's certainly nothing physically preventing me from finding and using a physical dictionary, but as I age I appreciate the convenience of not having to do that thing. You don't offer my familiar app, but so far this app has been easy to use, helpful, and reliable. My tired windows phone was in no way up to the task of helping me, but I was saved having to get up to find and dust off a dictionary when I remembered amazon's app store. ![]() I've seen it in the past, I have a vague notion of the complete meaning of the word, but the context didn't provide enough for me to be 100% certain. ![]() I'd just started reading Kurt Andersen's _Fantasyland_ - in hardcover: no backlight, no chapter timer, no click-for-definition! - when I came across the word "gotterdammerung".

Fast-forward to a couple of weeks back. An actual dictionary is an option, of course, but in terms of convenience it's not my first choice.Įnter my kindle fire. Ordinarily I'd use the app on my windows phone for all my words-related needs, but when that app failed and access to the "store" stopped working from the phone, I had to turn to another source.
