Dottedmag wanted to rewrite in C the libtinydict library that Buggins (the author of coolreader) created, which should be a quick job. I'm just waiting for that to be done in order to make the dictionary app. So yes, we're going to have full dictionary support, and fairly soon.
Cheers!
That is wonderful!!!
I have been hesitating to try the openinkpot firmware but since yesterday
when I tried the live version - which does not change my original firmware -
I am willing to do some more tests with the snapshots.

Features like searching/writing and dictionary were among the first ones my friends asked about when I was boasting about my LbookV3.

These are really important ones.
I am eager to try the dictionaries. Thanks for the link.

Congratulation for the great work!!
