That sounds almost too good to be true, Marco. Would those alternative options be legal? And what about the quality of those alternative dictionaries? I find it difficult to believe it would be comparable to dictionaries from reputable publishers like Oxford UP or Collins.

But perhaps I'm wrong. I'll be happy to learn more about this.

Currently, consulting a 3rd-party dictionary app while reading a book in Marvin, is unwieldy. iOS doesn't support split screens, so after Marvin sends you to a 3rd-party dictionary app (if you're lucky enough to discover its URL launch scheme), you need to return manually to Marvin every time. (Particularly irksome on the iPhone.)
