Alright!

I have for you your first .mobi book attached below so you can get the dictionary stuff up and running and then the Kindle setup is done.

It's a book of poetry in Bulgarian with an English introduction.

Unzip and copy the mobi file to /sdcard/kindle.

Create in the folder /sdcard/kindle the folder "Dictionaries" and in that folder create "English", "Bulgarian", and "English-Bugarian".

Download the two dictionary zips below. Unzip. Each contains two files. Transfer them to their respective folder in /sdcard/kindle/Dictionairies

Tap on the Kindle Books icon and you should see the new book. The app is funny about displaying cover images. Sometimes it will only do so if WiFi is on (just the first time). Tap on the book to open. Most functions are accessed with the "menu" button in the status (or using the right top hardware button). The content of the menus change depending on whether you are on the app home screen, the bookshelf, or reading a book.

If the cover page does not display when you open the book, try swiping to the right. Sometimes the app does not start on the cover page but on the title page instead. Once the cover page is displayed, long-press the lower right hardware button until the screen blinks. A smaller image of the cover appears for a brief time.

This is how the cover image is supplied to the widget on the home screen for everything that is not an epub in the stock reader.

Now move to one of the first few pages in English. Be sure WiFi is on, Long press on a word to look up. You should see a funny-looking selection box sort of containing the word and then a box with the invitation to download a dictionary. Do that and wait for it to complete. After that, you will have a local copy of an English dictionary. To dismiss the definition box, tap anywhere on the screen outside the box.

Now exit the reader (use the "n" button or back out with the "back" button on the status bar). On the home screen you should see the cover displayed for the book with a badge that says "Kindle".

OK, dictionary swaps. I just discovered this and am still deciding what to do with it. If you look in the folder /sdcard/kindle you will see some files, two of which are the English dictionary you just downloaded (the ones that end in "EBOK.mbp" and "EBOK.prc"). Move these files into /sdcard/kindle/Dictionaries/English. Then open the folder /sdcard/kindle/Dictionaries/English-Bulgarian and move those two files back out into /sdcard/kindle.

Now on your home screen tap on either the book cover image or the "reading now" button at the upper left of the status bar. The book should open where you left off. Now try to get the definition of an English word (long-press on the word). You should see some Bulgarian equivalents.

The same process would be used to change to the Bulgarian dictionary (which you could try with the same book since the poetry is in Bulgarian). You can only have one set of dictionary files in the /sdcard/kindle folder at one time, so this file moving business is my current "solution" to changing dictionaries. The app does not "see" anything that is not specifically in the "kindle" folder so we can get away with it.
