Ah, I forgot to mention the dictionary as another frustration. That was a huge one for me a few years back and there are quite a few posts from me on this forum about that whole ordeal. I got them working very well on my old device, and expected the same procedure to work with the Mimas, but it hasn't.

I placed the same dictionary files in the 'dict' folder on the Mimas, but no definitions pop up in the default reading app. If I open the dictionary app, the dictionaries are checked, but no definitions.

So... I went to clear the cache because I remember that helped last time... but under user settings--apps--dictionary is nowhere on the list of apps. (So I can't clear the cache.) I don't understand why it's not listed. Does anybody else have this problem?

I feel like I keep going around in circles with all these problems.

Edited to Add: I don't know if it's because I just installed ForaDict, or because I unchecked "stystem" in the list of dictionaries and got it to stick (I kept getting an error when I did that and it kept being automatically rechecked)... but I finally have definitions popping up when I press a word in a book. Maybe because ForaDict is installed, and probably the system dictionary app isn't working still.
Sorry for what's going on with your device. Mine works perfectly. I installed four dictionaries and also disabled the default glossary.
