Hi, I'm looking to invest in a reliable bilingual Portuguese and English dictionary, preferably in an electronic format as I have problems with my hands and struggle to use and carry around heavy, paper-based dictionaries. At this stage I'm just looking for a general dictionary. I also have a kindle so if anyone knows of any versions available for that or a PC (Windows 7), your input would be most appreciated.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

For instance, in IT, PT-PT usually draws from FR what PT-BR draws from English, e.g.:
EN - PT-BR - FR - PT-PT
screen - tela - écran - ecrã
mouse - mouse - souris - rato
file - arquivo - fichier - ficheiro
