Hi there,
does anyone know how to manage to get an iLiad recognize a dictionary (mobipocket PRC) while reading a mobipocket ebook (PRC) and using the lookup function from within the mobipocket reader. My PC I am downloading to for transfer to the iLiad runs on Linux - Ubuntu 8.04. I heard on MS Windows the mobipocket download manager does something with the file format.
Reading the ebook as well as reading and search function of the dictionary, when read independantly, works.
I just cannot get the lookup function to work. So I have to quit the ebook, start the dictionary, search and translate and navigate back.

Did anyone manage to get this work and has a hint for me?

Best regards,
Johannes
