Great. Have you also tried "PC Upload"? It lets you import books to the app via Wi-Fi from your PC's by uploading book files via a web browser? This may become very handy, as you don't need to set up calibre or any other server on your computer.

I am Danish and read many English books, I therefore use the dictionary a lot but I don't like to see a mark in the text for every lookup I have made.
Have I overlooked something?

Every word/phrase you look up with the "Define" command when the word is selected automatically goes into the Vocab list. (The VOCAB list is one of the four segmented views including CONTENTS, NOTES, VOCAB and BOOKMARKS.)
In the VOCAB list, all words are automatically sorted alphabetically. To delete a word from the list, just swipe from right to left and tap Delete. (This gesture is pretty standard on apps designed for iOS 7.0 or later, such as Mail.)
Our research indicates that it helps users to learn and remember new words, if they can easily lookup them again in a vocabulary list AND in the context where they learn the words. Therefore, in BookMaster we have introduced the rather unique feature of such a "vocab mark" as a highlight mark displayed on the reading pages, so that you can look it up again simply by tapping it, without the extra step of selecting the word first.
However, if you don't want to see all those vocab marks highlighted, you can turn off "Display Vocabulary" in the menu under the "brightness" icon.
Is this existing solution good enough for you?
Perhaps you want a faster way to delete a vocab mark on the spot rather than going through the Vocab list?
