Sorry, I didn't mean you could do any exhaustive comparison. Least installing new software. Only, test the device capabilities with its stock software, that you've almost already done.

Concerning Onyx, Sony, etc.: T103 is cheap and, if Boyue fixed the dictionary issue, the device would fulfill my needs.

About the in-app dictionary function....same as orebmur, I can't get StarDict format dictionary to work when reading, it just uses some built-in English to Chinese dictionary and Chinese to English dicionary.

I found the built-in dictionaries in system/dics folder, they are of *.dic format, and I'm not familar with this format. Out of curiosity, I renamed *.dic to *.zip, and it was indeed just a zipped folder contains a bunch of *.idx, *.lix and *.dix files. Both *.lix and *.dix are raw txt files contating search words and their definition. *.idx must be a index file. Beyond these, I don't know much. Hope some linux guys can help out.
