- Does dictionary lookup work? And can I install non-English dictionaries or change the primary dictionary in any way? I read in French from time to time and I do have a French dictionary purchased from Amazon which I would like to continue using.

- How many books does it hold? I keep about 500 on my K3. It has space for more, but I find it slows down intolerably when it gets much bigger. I know the K4 has a better processor than the K3. How many books will it comfortably hold without a performance issue?

- Any other tips or tricks or issues I should be aware of when coming from the K3 to the K4? I am assuming whispersync and all that other business will continue to work as usual but I am not sure what other features they left out.
1) yes there are collections, I use them myself. easy to set it up.
2) yes
3) 1400 according amazon.
4) major differences you'll find is the lack of keyboard and noticeably lighter and drastically smaller. not much else.
