Thanks for that tip! I wasn't aware of that and I grabbed my Nook and tried it, expecting it not to work since I'm reading sideloaded books, but sure enough, there it was. Thank you very much.

So far I really like this thing. I think I still prefer my Kindle but I like this better than my Kobo. Maybe even a lot better. The Kobo is quite a bit more sophisticated but this thing is really nice and the interface is simple and sensible.

I still need that dictionary fixed to show text that isn't grayed out. What if they did that in paper dictionaries; put the definitions in text that you could barely read. They might put an explanation at the start of the book, explaining that definitions are descriptive, not prescriptive.

Every time I think of this I laugh. Compared to this, New Coke was brilliant.
