Yup! Somebody put up a link to it a couple days back.
Not sure if anybody else noticed but I'm using it. It seems pretty up to date and nicely structured. I'm not going to ditch Webster's altogether (I have way too many old PD titles where a 19th century definition will come in handy), but for my contemporary fiction I'll probably be sticking with OAL until I can get OED for Pocketbook. |

I installed the Advanced Learners dictionary today and it seems great so far. I love that we can have multiple dictionaries installed, and usable, at once.

Longman's is pretty decent. Not sure which is better though between Longmen's and Oxford's. Webster's is pretty lacking. |

I get this output when the program crashes: Quote:
Perhaps this may be too involved now and a ominous sign is the line where my .xdxf files crashes the converter.exe program, namely: Quote:

You just have to "drop" it into your /system/dictionaries folder on the PB. Works a treat (I have the 1913 version and this one)! Marilyn |

For 'the converter doesn't complain' definition of fine, there are still many characters/formating that aren't displayed properly by the device |

Hi all,
a few threads ago: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=118814 - I was able to download and then unpack a load of dictionaries as the last posting in the link indicates. Amongst others, were the American Heritage and the Webster's Unabridged dictionaries. Question: how do these compare to the Webster's that is the core topic of this thread? Please forgive my ignorance - to me the major dictionary is the Oxford, and my knowledge of Webster's and AH is limited. Cheers, Michael P |

For example this xdxf file would throw the error: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <ar><k>word</k> put_4090_simple_letters_here <fictional tag ends after the 4096 boundary> So not all longer lines cause converter to fail, only unlucky ones. We need to break the lines to make them shorter. I use the following awk script which works for files containing <br><br>: awk '{ gsub("<br><br>", "<br>\n<br>"); print; }' dict.xdxf >dict2.xdxf I'll try to find an appropriate place to report this bug. Will follow rkomar's suggestion and have a look at the-ebook.org. Last edited by Jarekczek; 06-25-2013 at 01:26 AM. Reason: added more context information - the error message |
