I was looking into the Oasis 2 and really like the vocabulary builder feature where you can add words to a vocabulary list and study these words "flashcard" style.

I was looking to see if the Aura One has a similar feature and apparently it's a hidden option enabled by setting `MyWords=true`.

My question is: what's it like? Is it "flashcard" style as well? This is important to me because it's the best way to study. What "flashcards" lets you do is show a term and its associated definition on the same "card" and you can flip among the cards quickly.

I'm not talking about a history of terms you've looked up in a dictionary, where selecting the term you've searched in the past will have the dictionary look up the word again. This is not efficient for studying and I don't necessarily want to study all words I've looked up in a dictionary (sometimes I look up a word and I don't necessarily want to add it to a list of words for studying).

Much appreciated.
