As far as I can see, the Bebook does not support dictionary lookup. The keywords for searching are displayed on the screen e.g. "New search", but there is no means of selecting them. When you use the navigation buttons to go to the index, all you get is a list of the dictionary head words at the page you were last looking at. This is useless since you would have to page forward or back hundreds of times to get near the word you wanted. The only option is to use the "go to page number" function but that is a hit and miss way of searching.

Like you Harry, I am very disappointed. Of course I may have missed something somewhere because I have only had my Bebook for two hours and don't yet qualify as an expert!
