Silly me. I assumed that all those apps that were pulling up dictionary definitions were using some type of standard Android API. After a bit of Googling myself, it looks like everyone is doing their own thing. Shame on Google for not including an API for this already. I wonder what Aldiko is using?
Oh well. In lieu of a standard API, I'd still like Mantano to offer "good" dictionaries as an optional purchase. If this is done, having both in-ebook lookup (via a popup) and standalone dictionary lookup and browsing would be ideal.
