WordDumb VS jmdict-kindle

Manual here: https://xxyzz.github.io/WordDumb/

X-ray. You want X-ray. For sideloaded books you can try https://github.com/xxyzz/WordDumb

What part are you failing on? The earliest one, assuming you have Calibre installed already, is that you should be downloading from the releases page and not trying to download the entire code repository.

First option is to use Count pages plugin, and second option is to use kfx output, which you can enable option to create approximate page numbers. Also worth mentioning that the kfx outputs also supports x-ray and word wise, if you use WordDumb plugin.

github page here, mobileread page here

Since that itself is pretty opaque to non-techies, the Wordumb home forum is here, and it looks like the github page you need page is here.

WordDumb You can use this to generate Word Wise and X-ray for your ebooks.

go to calibre prefrences, click on plugin, click on install new plugin search for kfx output, kfx input and worddumb (documentation for these plugin is availabe here kfx output , kfx input and worddumb ) (note: for worddumb you also need to install python)

Mostly cause I got a good workflow going and I buy most of my ebooks from amazon. I use stuff like this anki add-on to mine sentences (although I have kinda stopped doing this lately) and got this jmdict dictionary for kindle which is pretty nice. I could probably set up something with the Onyx Boox reader and yomichan like others have mentioned but at this point I'm too lazy. Also the kindle is smaller and more portable, the Boox I have is slightly larger and better for manga though.

Physical kindle is better because https://github.com/jmdict-kindle/jmdict-kindle will work much better (it works on Android too but does not support verbs well)

3- there's a jmdict kindle dictionary: https://github.com/jmdict-kindle/jmdict-kindle

I use JMDict for J-E dictionary.

I frequently found that the Kindle's Japanese-Japanese dictionary was too hard to understand (without a second dictionary), and the Japanese-English dictionary simply didn't recognise words. I finally waved the flag on learning via a Japanese-Japanese dictionary and tried out jmdict-kindle. It's way better! It recognises generally more words than either of the two dictionaries from before, displays the pitch accent (I cannot overstate how valuable this is for your speaking), and shows some handy example sentences.

I use this one which does its job well for me, especially that it detects inflected verbs and it's Japanese-English.
