Hi Everyone

This may be the wrong forum but I am currently extremely confused. For a year or so I've been using my Kindle keyboard with OS 3.3 and Calibre to downloaed and read spanish newspapers, with the help of the Merriam Webster Spanish English dictionary.

Through sheer carelessness, I allowed Amazone to 'upgrade' me to 3.4, and now I have problems.

The dictionary appears only to work on books downloaded directly from Amazon and spanish newspapers don't work at all.

The Spanish dictionary is set to default, but this appears to make no difference now.

I have updated both Calibre and the dictionary to the latest versions available but no joy. Amazon technical has failed to respond to my problem. All it will say is that 'We're looking into it'.

Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks
