Hi
I have created a file of test sentences in German for testing various ebook readers and dictionaries. The results are shown on the Dictionary efficiency.pdf. Numbers shown on the excel sheet are number of clicks, taps and imputes on the screen to reach the final dictionary pages showing basic words from declined or conjugated forms of the words in the test sentences.
You can see the Onyxreader is the best reader for German books among those tested as far as dictionary function is concerned. The Sony reader handles the German text quite well but I prefer Langenscheidt dictionary to Collins. The Kindle dictionary software can not handle separable verbs properly. We need to have elementary knowledge of German grammar to use the ColorDict on the Android tablet. GolderDict is not better than the ColorDict. I ask you, who have PocketBook readers, Kindle touch and the newer Sony reader, to do the same test and show me the results.
The attached zip files contain the exel sheet of Dictionary Efficiency to which you can add your test results and the test sentences in various formats, such as ePub, pdf, mobi, bet, text, docx and lit.
Thanks takikura
