Thank you. I hope that a NovaPro manual will be also released soon.

I have also found that the dictionary function does not work well when you select multiple characters/hiragana when reading in the Neoreader app. Perhaps sideloading in specific Japanese fonts might help. Not sure.

Instead of Neoreader, I use Moon+ Reader Pro when reading in Japanese. It handles Japanese the best of any of the reading apps I have tried. The wonderful thing is that it handles furigana correctly.

Moon+ Reader also works well with the ColorDict and GoldenDict dictionary apps. They have a variety of dictionaries which you can install. You can then copy StarDict dictionaries to the dictdata folder which I believe ColorDict uses.

You can also set the dictionary in Moon+ Reader so that it will search other apps on a long press of the dictionary button after selecting a word.

I have Moon+ Reader set up so that a short press on the dictionary button will search the StarDict dictionaries which I have associated with ColorDict. A long press of the dictionary button will cause it to search for the term in one of my Japanese apps.
Thank you. I am testing right now Moon Reader and ColorDict. I hope

Thank you. I already installed the 2.1 firmware starting from the Chinese version. I will switch to the english/italian firmware as soon as it comes out.
