As a test, I loaded a book I've been reading with Moon+Reader into the native reading app. It made formatting mistakes, such as running words together and putting spaces before periods and commas. Although I had seen mistakes like these in the sample books, I thought they might be mistakes in the books themselves. Since these problems seemed to be a consequence of how it handles full justification, I looked for an option to use left justification instead, but I could not find one. This book was from Feedbooks, and besides the formatting mistakes, it did not draw a box around the chapter number like I usually see in books from this source. So, this reading app needs more work before it will become useful for English readers. In the meantime, I will stick to Moon+Reader.
I did install a few more dictionaries. I installed a French to English dictionary, a Latin to English dictionary, and a couple German to English dictionaries. The French one worked for the word chat, the Latin one for the word cogito, and the German ones for the word schnell. When I deleted one of the German ones, it stopped working for schnell, but when I reinstalled it, they both worked for schnell. According to the Setting page for the Dictionary app, the other ones I've installed are Merriam-Webster's Collegiate and English explanatory dictionary (main), but these two have never come up with definitions in the tests I've run.
I tested how current the Oxford Dictionary is by entering computer terms. It has up-to-date definitions for terms like computer, database, download, drive, and monitor, though it lacks definitions for ebook, internet, and upload, and its definitions for stream, tablet, and web do not include anything computer related. Naturally, Webster's 1913 Dictionary is too old to have any computer-related definitions.
