Hello, I am a NovaPro user. I got mine from ereader.store around the 5th of March. I would like to share with you my experience and ask some questions.

I was using software version 2018-12-25_22-04_2.0.1_0d1b2fc (I think this should be version 2.0 of the firmware and not the 2.1). As suggested in the forum (thank to isaact33) I was able to updated changing language to Chinese (the first language that appears in the list). Now software version is 2019-03-18_17-23_2.1_4c8ffe0.

I was able to install GooglePlay with the older version of the firmware and it works also now. I didn’t have any particular problems with the firmware update and all my files (epub, PDF, etc) and apps (OneDrive, OneNote) work like before.

OneNote experience is terrible, I find it not usable with the Wacom Pen.

I have the following problems that I would like to discuss with you.

1) DICTIONARY: I tried to decompress many dictionary from the page http://download.huzheng.org, in particular JP and ITA ones. I decompressed the dicts folder of my NovaPro. For example I now have a folder named "stardict-jmdict-ja-en-2.4.2" that has 5 files inside it (.INDEX, .DZ, .ifo, etc). If I try to use this dictionary (and the other ones that I can see in the dictionary settings) the device will start "Searching" without results (I waited several minutes). I tried to restart the device but it still doesn't work. I have also checked and changed the “Preferred dictionary Setting” in the dict options menu (trying to mark/unmark the dictionaries). Could you please suggest me an install procedure and a dictionary that works? I am looking for Italian and/or Japanese dictionaries.

2) MANUAL: I was not able to find a manual for the NovaPro. Inside the box there was only a quick start guide in English and Chinese. Could you please tell me if you have a PDF manual that you could share?

Thank you for your support!
