I'm not sure if it's possible to change how the system dictionary appears on iPhone. Like popup footnotes, it appears fullscreen with a close button at the top left. On newer larger devices, that's quite an effort to close and a true popup I'd consider a small yet so helpful addition.
I was using Marvin 2 the other day and now that I use the dictionary more, I was also thinking like other eReaders and eReader commercial apps, perhaps there could be a setting to by default when highlighting a word, show a bottom panel with definition. For languages I'm not so great at, tremendous utility.
Plus: to repeat a request I've mentioned a few times, perhaps OPDS could later be made more simpler. Distinguishing between personal OPDS servers like Calibre, if I could access it with less clicks, if it even cached and updated in the background when I searched, or even the pull down search for my library had an option to include personal OPDS servers, if in a OPDS book list, already downloaded books were marked as already downloaded (if that were possible), some of those things I now almost consider essential. Some of us have libraries large enough, that quick access to remote libraries almost becomes a must.
If tapping download didn't have a confirmation, a small detail, and also updated its status in the table row, so one could continue to browse and search during download, that too would be a nice thing.
