Thanks for the explanation Harry. This method certainly sounds better than my old method where I'd go to the home screen, open the dictionary as a book and then do the search at that point. I seemed to remember asking on here how to search the dictionary on this forum and that was what was suggested at the time.

I honestly don't find either method intuitive though. I passed my Kindle to my 16 year old (a self deemed expert on everything) and asked him to find a word. It took him two minutes. Shouldn't in take 10 seconds. As it stands, I find it quicker to put down my Kindle, go the the bookshelves and grab a dictionary. I think it should stay on the needed improvements page.

Also to add:
  • gorilla glass (may not be possible with touch screen).
  • water proof (I like to read in the bath)
