Thanks to your feedback. All of the issues raised in the following posts regarding Define/Dictionary Lookup/User-defined Dictionary/Display Vocabulary/Disabling auto-vocab-collection will be resolved in the next version of MapleRead (v1.6.3) expected to be available on the App Store by the end of this week. Stay tuned.

Let me illustrate with an example. I subscribe to an online dictionary ordbogen.com
Say you want to know the meaning of "horse" then you can send this to a browser:
http://www.ordbogen.com/opslag.php?word=horse&dict=auto
It could be generalized in Bookmaster as (example) an option
http://www.ordbogen.com/opslag.php?word=%s&dict=auto
...

The new "Set My Dictionary" feature will let you enter, for example,
http://www.ordbogen.com/opslag.php?word={word}&dict=auto
or
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/{word}
so that your dictionary instead of the built-in iOS dictionary will be used for the existing context menu command Define.

One request - the option to turn vocabulary off within a book does not stay off. If I define a word then turn off the vocabulary display, it turns itself back on the next time I define a word. ...

After the final (not beta) iPhone version is released (soon), we'll add a new switch for this auto-vocab-collection, as you have requested. ...

There is no bug. Once Display Vocabulary is turned off, it stays off until you perform Define on a word. What we, at least I, really want is an option to NOT to collect the word as part of the vocabulary. If a word is not part of the vocab, then it clearly follows that it will not be vocab-highlighted in any case. I believe this is exactly what sbaylor proposed.

@sbaylor, please don't forget to add a new switch for this auto-vocab-collection, as you described earlier, at your earliest convenience. Thanks!

A new switch Vocab Builder will enable/disable automatic collection of "defined" words into the Vocab list (next to Notes).
The existing switch Display Vocabulary will still show/hide vocab highlights on book pages. Thus, if you want to stop building up (adding to) the Vocab list and prefer hiding all vocab highlights, then turn off both switches. Enjoy!
