jmdict-kindle VS yomichan

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.

thanks for the link for the extra dictionaries! I only knew about this one: https://github.com/jrfonseca/jmdict-kindle

To help make whatever you choose to read easier, use this dictionary with your kindle: https://github.com/jrfonseca/jmdict-kindle

You read the schemas, usually it's enough for devs a waste of time asking r/LearnJapanese

I made a Yomichan dictionary from CantoDict, and there are other dictionaries linked made by other people I wanted to share.

I wish I would of known about Yomichan years ago, I can see a lot of work went into the project. Yes, for most web pages a Chrome extension should be able to get the sentence that the word came from. The relevant code for Yomichan might be from this page https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/blob/master/ext/js/app/frontend.js

You can use mokuro on any manga you have in digital form to turn the text into selectable text and read it in a PDF reader of your choice. You can then combine this with the Yomichan browser extension and dictionaries of your choice to allow you to instantly look up any unknown word you encounter when reading manga, with a single button press.

Download kiwi browser, after that go to extensions, and download yomichan. Download the dictionaries (they can be use offline). Finally, go to the site https://ttu-ebook.web.app (It can also be use offline), you can read any kind of epub file that you may have within your device. After setting up everything, you can read japanese with the fastest looks ups without using internet.

Capture2Text (I usually use this with games, manga, etc. in tandem with Yomichan's search page)

What I am looking for is something like this: https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan/

You are not the first to miss this functionality: https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/issues/1987

Consider trying Yomichan. In the popup dictionary, click on the Kanji. If you scroll down, there are a bunch of reference numbers for different Kanji books and dictionaries (including Kodansha Compact Kanji Guide and Kodansha Kanji Dictionary).
