Hello,
if you connect the reader you will see in the root folder a dictionary folder.
From the reader gui is in Storage --> sdcard --> dictionary
You should find a stardict-oxford-gb folder with 3 or 4 file inside
(dict.dz / idx / ifo / yaidx).
That's how a stardict dictionary look like.
You must obtain, this is the difficult part, some *better* dictionaries in stardict format and then simply copy the folders there.
I have on mine
stardict-longman-2.4.2 (eng/eng)
stardict-freedict-deu-ita-2.4.2
Francais_Italien_WB
Francais_Italien_Expression-idiomatiques
The nice thing is that when i do search a word, it's browsing all of those together.
Please notice that some of the dictionaries on internet got an uncompressed .dict file which does not work with the i86.
I had to compress those from dict to dict.dz with dictzip which i found just for linux.
I found practical to install a stardict app for windows
http://www.huzheng.org/stardict/
in order to quickly check the quality of the dictionaries i was downloading before putting them on the i86.
Anyway, maybe i'm idiot :-) , after a month i did not discovered on the stock readers how to select a word or a whole phrase with the touch screen, i have to type the word with the keyboard.
A decent manual would be better than guessing gestures.
