Had hoped that the most recent Kobo FW would right that wrong. Unfortunately, not.

I have tried various nightly builds of KOreader. Have tried reinstalling KOreader. Have tried reinstalling the dictionaries... All to no avail.

When I press dictionary settings, the names of the dictionaries show up. So they are there, but non-functional for some reason.

The exact same dictionaries work just perfectly on my original 6" Aura running FW 3.19.5761. They also used to work on my KA1 when I was running older firmware with the old homescreen.

Not sure what has changed or if anything can be done about it. I would like to keep the new firmware on my KA1 because of the better accuracy it provides when running Nickel which I need to do for reading in Japanese. But I miss the lookup capabilities of KOreader when it comes to Chinese.
Can't help you, but here is my little story:

Same thing happened to me a week ago with my KA1, when I decided to update nickel (I believe it was 4.6.9960) but made a mistake and pressed "install update" instead of "install partial update". So I had to reinstall KSM8. After that I had this dictionary issue.

To cut a long story short, I finally made a factory reset. Nickel version 4.5.9587 was installed automatically. And then I reinstalled KSM8 and KOReader. Now the dictionaries work.
