Word Logs is probably one of the numerous menu options that I clicked on, when I first got my reader, but I really didn't appreciate how useful it would become, until I started reading books. My Sony PRS-650 arrived at the beginning of November and naturally I was eager to play, wanting to explore all the menu options - there so many - but to be candid, for a while I forgot this option existed.

One of the things that I really love about the Sony reader is the ability to look-up words in the selected dictionary, by double-tapping on the word - using the touch-screen. One of my interests is etymology (word derivation), consequently I use the dictionary often.

Sometimes it is helpful to have a list of all the words that have been looked up, for example if you are reading a book about a particular period of history. Word Logs provides a list of all the words that have been looked up in a particular book, or periodical, something that I find it incredibly useful.

OPTIONS -> Word Logs: Book/Periodical

By the way, I assume this feature is common to 350 and 950, could someone please confirm this? Does anyone one else find Word Logs useful?
