I had the Webster 1913 on my pocketbook and yes, it's a dictionary, but yes, it's (almost) 100 years old. I really did not like it.
I hope, bookeen uses the Webster just for testing purposes and will come up with something decent in the end. I still am interested in the Odyssey (i really like, how it handles fonts), but a proper English dictionary (and options to install others) is compulsory. I have no problem paying for a good dictionary. I really loved the PONS EN-GE I had bought for my Gen3 (mobi). It still is the best to me (also beats the Colins, which is on Sony).
Is there a tool, to transform mobi dictionaries to whatever format is required by the Odyssey?
