Couple questions here. Are you double pumping? Hitting the button more than once.

I know one annoying artifact of using the Dictionary is that it must reside on the SD Card. When I am reading books that are located on the SD Card I tend to lose my location. It seems the Reader only saves the "current location" when you exit your book. One trick I've learned to get around this is to bookmark your location before calling the dictionary. At that point is will be very easy to get back to your location.

Spooky, while having the application auto clear the input box is a great feature for testing the dictionary, in practices it is more of a drawback. I find that when I'm actually using the dictionary to lookup the word I don't want it to clear the input box. Most words I lookup are very long by the time the dictionary loads I've already forgot how to spell the word. So I typically enter half then enter a few letters at a time to get closer.
We, however have two methods to enable a user to quickly clear the input either through the keyboard of from a button.


@lisak
Whith the application getting I wounder if it would be worth while to improve the installation process. I'd recommend we put ALL the files in one directory. and instruct all users to unzip the Dictionary-vX.zip into the "Sony Reader"
The Dictionary zip file would have a directory structure of so.

autorun.xml
autorun.js
+Dictionary\Skins
+Dictionary\<ALL Dictionary Files>
The autorun.xml file would have to be modified to point to the "Dictionary\Skins"


Any thoughts?
