Thank you for the update. I like the previous one you posted so much, and my device has been working so flawlessly, I'm not sure if I want to risk changing anything.

I would love to know any additional details about the upgrade as you use it.
As for the dictionary... I struggled for a long time trying to resolve that issue. I fussed around with various apps and spent way too many hours trying to find answers. As it turned out, I didn't actually need ForaDict or ColorDict or any of the others I tried. There does seem to be a dictionary function that is built-in, and it works with StarDict dictionaries, which I struggled to find in the public domain until I found these here:
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=FB7FC2...385A72&group=0
These StarDict dictionaries are supposed to be available under a free public domain license. I downloaded the "wikt-en-en-2015-07-17" folder from there.
I made a "Dict" folder in the root of my Boyue...
I unzipped and copied the "wikt-en-en-2015-07-17" folder to the Dict folder, and it works well with FBReader - the definitions pop-up automatically when you highlight a word and press the little DICT option. No extra program necessary. So it seems there actually is an in-built dictionary function after all.
The only problem with this free wikt-en-en-2015-07-17 dictionary is that it doesn't handle plurals and various tenses as you would expect. For example, it will just give the definition of 'words' as 'the plural of 'word'... which is not at all helpful. You can probably find a better StarDict option though with some searching. I know many people here found a good copy. For some reason I have struggled to locate a good source. Also, I didn't try it, but maybe some of the other folders in the link I posted would resolve this problem.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
