Thanks, osnova. The Cool e-reader app also lets you use one of several dictionaries (fora and colordict, I believe). But unfortunately it doesn't follow hyperlinked footnotes.

I guess what I'll have to do is use either the Cool or Aldiko app for most books, but use Nook when I need to access footnotes, and use the Colordict offline dictionary if I need to look up a definitiion.

Dictionary look-up and access to footnotes would seem to be important features for an e-reader app, but very few apps have either one, and I haven't found any apps that have both, other than Kindle.

Thanks again.
