I'd give anything to have a good dictionary for my 505. I was an English major in college (oh so many years ago!) and have always thought of myself as being somewhat "word savvy". But I am being humbled big-time right now: I purchased "The Book of the New Sun" series by Gene Wolfe (in paperback! --- does not appear to be sold anywhere yet in electronic form), and started reading the first book, but was absolutely amazed at the number of words I had no familiarity with at all! So I brainstormed with myself and decided that I would try to scan the book with my old flatbed all-in-one, convert it over to text with Abby Finereader, clean it up, and port it over to my Sony. Then it would be no problem to find a dictionary to put on my memory card and flip between the book and the dictionary.
Well, reality has set in. I managed to scan and convert the book (took almost as much time as it would to read it! What a pain!) and get it over to the Sony Reader, but I'll be damned if I can find any sort of dictionary for the Sony
So I'm stuck using my 1980's vintage "Webster's Universal Unabridged Dictionary" with over 340,000 entries. It's hard to "flip" between this dictionary and the Reader! Since the dictionary weighs twelve pounds, I'm afraid to use it while I'm reading in bed. One small slip of the dictionary while it's hoisted over my groggy head...and the police will be filling out a report for the mortician in the morning.
Sony
must have a dictionary on the horizon for the Reader --- it's such a no-brainer!
