I
am looking for a dictionary I can use while reading a book.
If you place one or more Mobi dictionaries on your mobi-device, then the system will do a lookup in all available dictionaries and give you a choice of dictionary.
On my Cybook gen3 I have 2 dictionaries, an English->English and a thesaurus. When I make a lookup, then I can choose what dictionary I want to use.
That is an advantage of the Mobi format. Can you add/change dictionary on an epub-reader?
I have read somewhere that the new Kindle will support 2 dictionaries.
I believe that the dictionaries in the epub readers are device-specific
applications. I moved my dictionaries from an old PDA to the Cybook without any problems. I only had to redownload the files with the new PID.
