Thank you for your reply. I tried again, and I always have the same problem. The pdf files I use to read are scientific articles downloaded from the journals sites. These are two-column articles that I have to zoom in order to be able to read them (I choose the "hide the margins" options) and still it is rather small, since the original size is A4. I thought that maybe it was the reason why it is virtually impossible to select properly a word. So I tried to zoom more (200%). The problem does not disappear! It is still very difficult to select a word, and when I succeed it often gives me the definition of a word completely different. Exemple: for "become" I have the definition of "Econ" : abbr. Economics!! For "focus" the choice of this strange dictionary in "ocular". It's absolutely crazy and makes me nervous (300 euros for this!!)
Am I making something wrong? To use the dictionary, I go in the "tools" of the menu, then in "Dictionary lookup", a new frame opens in the screen, with my sthttps://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2513148#ylus I try to mark a word, and the (often) funny definition appears in the frame previously opened... If booxtor could hear this, it will be fine, but he didn't reply to the original post,
