I've searched long and hard for a Taiwanese Traditional Chinese-Traditional Chinese dictionary for the Kindle, espcially with 注音 zhuyin. There is a great Chinese-English one with 注音 (and Cantonese pronunciation!) here, but I was looking for an analog to Taiwan's Ministry of Education online dictionaries (台灣教育部字典). Here it is!

- originally wanted to use this awesome file of the revised dictionary but seems a little bit outdated and most importantly the file is too large for Amazon's own Kindle dictionary creator to process
- didn't want to, but scraped the concised dictionary and created the dictionary from that
- noticed that Kindle Previewer 3 could not create dictionaries with Chinese in the non-content.html pages (think that was the problem), so I've preserved a copy of all .html's under html-with-chinese/ but in practice should use the English versions
- I have the scraper as a private repo that is pending cleanup as of 2021.10.09
