Hi all,

I just joined this great forum today, and also want to contribute sth for the most precious-but-lacking feature in this Sony Reader.

From my experience in N800, there is a software name StarDict providing my kinds of dictionary (check it out in the link below), and most of the file are called RPM and tarball. I have been using this StarDict in N800 very smoothy and think that it offers a sufficient amount of word for all of us. All the best dictionary are there: Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, and in French, German, etc. The matter is either converting these files into suitable formats or developing a PRS-500/5 program that can run these files.

Hope you guys can share,
Thanks,
