1.1 Searching

On a Kindle Voyage, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle (5th generation),
Kindle Touch, Kindle Fire, or Kindle app, tap on the magnifying glass
icon, then type in a word to find it in the dictionary.
On a Kindle (4th generation), Kindle Keyboard, or Kindle DX, a search
dictionary box appears when you open the dictionary. Simply type in a
word to find it in the dictionary.
If your app's search feature is too slow or finds too many words, we
recommend browsing the dictionary instead. To do this, go to the Table of
Contents and select A - Z. Select a letter, then select the link to the
appropriate range of words. Scroll until you find the desired word.
1.2 Default dictionary setting

eBooks in German:
Press Home.
Press Menu.
Select "Settings" from the menu.
Check to see if there is a "Dictionaries" setting.
If you see a "Dictionaries" setting, select it. Look under "German"

"German", then choose this dictionary from the list that appears.
If you do not see this setting, press Menu, then choose "Change

3. Organization of the dictionary

Dictionaries, telephone directories and libraries follow differing systems for
alphabetical organization. This dictionary uses the following principles:
When the spelling of two headwords is otherwise the same, lower case
letters precede upper case letters.
ver·mö·gen*
[fε ˈmø:gn]̣ vt irreg (geh)
▪ etw ∼ to be capable of [doing] [or be able to do] sth; ∼, etw zu tun to
be capable of doing [or be able to do] sth
Ver·mö·gen
<-s, -> [fε ˈmø:gn]̣ nt
1. FIN assets pl; (Geld) capital no art, no pl; (Eigentum) property no
art, no pl, fortune; (Reichtum) wealth
▪ bewegliches ∼ chattels pl, movable property; flüssiges ∼ liquid
assets; gemeinschaftliches/persönliches ∼ common/private property;
öffentliches ∼ property owned by public authorities; unbewegliches ∼
immovable property, real estate
2. kein pl (geh)
▪ jds ∼ sb's ability [or capability]; jds ∼ übersteigen/über jds ∼ gehen
to be/go beyond sb's abilities
ä, ö and ü are treated like their counterparts without umlaut. When two
words have the same spelling except for the umlaut, the simple vowel
comes first.
