Mobipocket,

can you tell me what dictionaries are available for MobiPocket? From what I've seen, Franklin works closely with MobiPocket and plans to release more and more dictionaries on the MobiPocket platform. Is that right?

All the dictionaries you can find in Mobipocket format can be used.
You can find most of them on Mobipocket eBookstore, Franklin.com, Fictionwise.com, CyberRead.com, eBookMall.com, ...
You can also create your own dictionaries with Mobipocket Office Companion.

Now, as a publisher, Franklin provides eBooks and dictionaries. They are working on new titles, like other dictionary publishers do.

Mobipocket,

I tried the build you mentioned above on my NR70V but unfortunatley I found a severe issue. Each time when I collapse the Virtual Grafiti area (or when it automatically collapses itself for e.g. doing a search) the ebook content is not properly fitted to the screen again. Lots of the information lies outside the display & the icon bar disappears ...?!

To reset this irritation I need to start and stopp autoscroll (which is available in pro version only) or restarting the reader sometimes also solves the problem temporarily.

Is it just me or has anybody else reported this problem?
