But the dictionary is quite limited in the app as well - can't lookup the dictionary from within the open dictionary. Compared to the eink version that Kindle app sucks. On my Voyage I can open the dictionary from within and each back (<- ) button brings me one step back until arriving again in book. Or if it took too long I can go home and open book again at exact same spot I was in.

Oh well, just going to keep using the app in emergencies (e.g. forgot to bring Voyage).
I have found a couple books where the Voyage isn't much better for navigation. Following a footnote can be frustrating with the touch screen. For example, I was reading a Terry Pratchett book which had a footnote in the upper right corner of the screen. I went to click on it and no matter how I pressed the only thing I could get it to do was bookmark the page. Grrr. Just let me follow the link!
