Did exactly what you said to do. Extracted the dict.dz file, deleted the dz file. That left .dict, .idx and .ifo files. Tried a couple things. Placed them in the Dict folder. Opened the dictionary app on the ereader. It sees the dictionary. Type in a word and get "no words in dictionary". Tried placing the 3 files inside their own folder and placing that inside the Dict folder. No joy.

This is very frustrating. Ill try a different dictionary maybe something wrong with this one. Arrrg!
