Hi there! Thanks for bringing this up and after i’ve downloaded oald 9, one problem i face is it cant redirect 
For example: i look up drew, it would tell me its the past tense of draw and underline the word draw. However its not clickable. i cant be redirected to the link for draw. I wonder if you have met the same problems, and if there is any solutions to this?

Haven’t, I use kindle 4 non touch works fine on it since I believe newer models don’t have like fixing from search option. You can try out OALD 8 edition but it has one issue the definition for adverb is missing. Best, I believe you should try out different dictionary

How did you get the OALD 8/9 for Kindle? The OALD10 is already available in mdd or Stardict format, so I wonder if you could convert it to kindle compatible format?
Google “oald10 freemdict”, you could get the files.

After a short research/reading on the internet for myself, I found two ways to convert dictionary files to MOBI. Both involve two stages - one to intermediate temporary/raw files and the second from the raw files to MOBI.
Required software:
pyGlossary (for both options):
Releases · ilius/pyglossary · GitHub or Releases · glowinthedark/pyglossary · GitHub
Kindle Previewer (for the first option) (terrible program):
KindleGen (for the second option):
The first stage in both options is done with pyGlossary: open the dictionary file you want to convert with pyGlossary, and as target format specify Mobipocket (.mobi) E-Book. Specify a name for the desired target file that must be different from the name of the source file (otherwise you will get an error). In both options, the raw files will appear in a temporary folder with the name you specified for the target file.
Option 1:
Install Kindle Previewer. Run the program. In the settings (in the View → Preferences drop-down menu), set the main device type to Kindle E-Reader with Portrait orientation. After you have opened the source file, set the desired name and location of the target file / temporary folder, and specified the Mobipocket (.mobi) E-Book format, press the Convert button. A folder with the name you specified in pyGlossary should appear in the location you specified. There are two subfolders in it - META-INF and OEBPS. There is a file named Content.opf in the OEBPS folder. Open the Kindle Previewer program you installed. Press the Open Book button. Find the Content.opf file and open it. Wait for the program to finish working, then in the drop-down menu, press File → Export and export the file in Books (.mobi) format (the second option). You have received a file named content.mobi - rename it as you wish.
Option 2:
Unzip the downloaded KindleGen somewhere (you only need the executable file kindlegen.exe). Open pyGlossary, then open in the program the dictionary file you want to convert, and as target format specify Mobipocket (.mobi) E-Book. Specify a name for the desired target file that must be different from the name of the source file. Open the Options menu next to the Convert button. There, open Write Options. Open the folder where you unzipped the kindlegen.exe file and copy it. Paste it in the Kindlegen path (path to kindlegen executable) field. Click the OK button. Click the Convert button. After the programs finish working, the converted file will be in the OEBPS subfolder of the temporary folder you specified, under the name content.mobi. Move it wherever you want and rename it as you like.

I did converted a Cambridge dict (4 months ago) but the issue remains for me, idk it never opened for a word with plural form or any thing, it was missing that one file idk it’s name but mdx usually has it. Although Oxford 9 worked fine for me.
Don’t know but would love it. Only issue it, kindle 4 works fine with mobi dict but kindle PW 3 has awful software after final update. Sooo, I guess every touch kindle is worse for any mobi, i did tried different methods to detail with the software issue but there seemed to be no exact answer for it. Aside, I’m not even tech guy.
No, both large versions (with audio in .mp3 and .opus format) cannot be converted. KindleGen crashes.
Warning(prcgen):W14024: Unrecognized language code in dc:Language metadata field. Error(prcgen):E23005: Language not specified in metadata. The dc:Language field is mandatory. Aborting.
And is it software issue with touch kindles, they don’t work so well with dictionary that are in mobi format

Have you done converting it?
No, KindleGen doesn’t handle multimedia files. I tried again, including an intermediate conversion to StarDict format - and it crashes again.
