lol, in fact there is a J-E dictionary data file for ColorDict that you can download from within the program. So you don't need my EDICT data files that I attached to an earlier post. I will try it out, it is downloading slowly. Oh well, I went about the process a bit backwards I suppose.

Hmm, it downloaded and nothing happened. Possibly it was exactly the same files.

nukito, rooting makes things more flexible in that you can install different readers. I don't know about the Kindle, but the stock Nook reader sucks for PDFs.

I had some PDFs that I wanted to read on my Nook, so I looked into it. The best solution I found was to use APV PDF Reader in landscape. You have text going from edge to edge across the width of the screen, zoomed in so there are no margins. It is not perfect, but the text is about the same size as the netbook I am typing this on for a typical A4 PDF.

Getting the text out of the PDF and reflowing it is possible, but the formatting will probably end up pretty broken. PDFs of books tend to have chapter headings, titles, page numbers, and so on cluttering up the page. The Nook reader will do it automatically for some PDFs, but it's not super pleasant to read. If you put lots of time into it you could manage it, but it would have to be a book you wanted to read 20 times for it to be worth the effort.
