Note to Kris, now that we're back to the topic of dictionaries:
The Kindle app is also smart in that it allows the reader to change the dictionary language from within the book. Marvin's current solution is not so smart: you need to close the book, access Marvin's general settings, and change the dictionary language there. That is not optimal. Especially because, as has just been discussed in the Beta group, there are many books that are multi-lingual, that is: that contain words (or even entire passages) from more than a single language within their texts. As it is now in Marvin, I'd have to keep closing and opening the same book just to be able to look up words from various languages. In contrast, the Kindle app allows the reader to change the dictionary language on-the-fly, right inside the book. If possible, Kris, please consider moving the dictionary language selection menus (and everything related, including the custom menu buttons setup) from Marvin's home screen to the book itself -- or, you might decide to make them accessible from both locations. Thank you.
