which kind of makes me think it doesnt realise its a dictionary,

how does the iliad know you have a dictionary installed?
from previous posts i thought it was just something in the .prc file, and once it opened it, it registered it. but this just doesnt seem to happen for me.
I *think* I manually installed it - IE just put whatever files (prc and possibly one other) that came down from Mobipocket in the Mobipocket directory of internal memory (I've since moved them to CF) and everything worked fine.

I've just opened the Britannica up, and you can indeed do a dictionary search on it (by that I mean hit the button next to the magnifying glass, type in a word and search). Can you use it to lookup works in other mobi books out of interest? Don't sound like you can which is obviously very wrong indeed!

One thing - I don't think I copied it into mnt/free/mobipocket isn't the folder something like mnt/books/mobipocket ?? Another thing to check - Is the PID correct for this book and your reader? I'd assume that it simply wouldn't open in this case, but you can never be sure....
