BTW: It took me 5 min to google a 4GB download of Stardict dictionaries. Don't know if there are copyright problems.

Thank you very much for your reply.
1. Could I just use my Kindle wall plug? It seems to fit okay. Or do you mean some sort of USB charging station?
2. I didn't realize that.
3. I have the manual, but it's not very helpful. I think the only mentions related to charging are pointing out where the indicator light is, and the instruction to make sure it is charged before using the first time.
4. Thank you. I may try Fora Dict some time in the future.
About StarDict - This is where I think it used to be located:
http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dict...w.dict.org.php
I am unfamiliar with downloading it from unofficial sources, and am worried about possible malware. I was hoping the WordNet dictionary would be a good substitute, but couldn't get the dictionary app to work anyway.
I have two unrelated questions:
1. Why doesn't the pre-loaded FB Reader show up in Apps? Is there any way to access any settings with that app?
2. Is there a way to enlarge the system font? When I was messing around trying to get the dictionary working, I remember setting something to enlarge the font, but that may have been when I was in ColorDict and finally got a small definition window to display within the program.
