If one of the free dictionaries work, then perhaps there is something wrong with Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. Some dictionaries use features that are not supported by the Java MobiPocket Reader, but all are supposed to support lookup. |
I suppose I will try what I am about to ask but I'll mention it anyway.
In order to access memory it appears to me I will have to remove the card and then set the default locations for everything to memory. I can probably rename the backup folder and create a new one so that the backup files are secure. Maybe I don't need to remove the card or mess with reorganizing the backup folder on the PC but it seems to be the prudent thing to do. Then I can connect to the iLiad and the PC will recognize memory as the default drive and I can move the dictionary to it.
The assumption for the above actions is that without shell access I can't see the memory location with it set to the card. Is that a fair assumption? I do plan to get the developers package but I don't want to add another variable to the equation.
Since as you suggest memory may fix the problem I will try my paid dictionary before going to the free versions.
Really big question - Can I leave the book default to the card with the dictionary in memory or does this mean I have to default books to memory in order for it to recognize the dictionary? Thanks
