Let us know what you find.
I finally got a PW2 and did some tests. Apparently Vocabulary Builder only works with books that don't show up with a Personal tag in cover view.

AFAIK, there's a Calibre option to remove this tag, however, since I rarely use Calibre, I'm a bit fuzzy about the details.

But I've recently found out that KevinH has written a helpful Python script that will add the required ASIN and EBOK metadata entries. Books processed with this script no longer show up as personal docs and words looked up in them will be displayed in the Vocabulary Builder app.

The syntax of the python scripts is:

Code:
python dualmetafix_mmap.py ASIN old.mobi new.mobi
(If you don't know the actual ASIN or the book doesn't have one, you can also use a random UUID number.)
