I see there is a discussion about Partition Resizing to cure Dictionary Freezing. It does eventually respond.
Selecting En-Fr was very reliable until I connected to Win7 to see if FW can only be installed if it's not already updated (true). Then the dictionary was "freezing" again (if you wait long enough the Reader does recover). I selected UK English, it froze and after 2 min was not responding so I reset. It was still actually on En-Fr and now not freezing.
I'll see what happens when reconnecting to Calibre on Linux. The text annotations seem to be in the database and alleged accessible either via a perl script on Linux or using SQLite GUI tool. I've not tried, but makes me wonder why the Calibre PRS-T1 notes plugin no longer works or why none of the other Calibre Annotation fetching tools work.
So the "freezing" (recovers eventually) on a direct dictionary lookup or attempting highlight is strange, and while it may be cured by "repartitioning", I think that's likely a side-effect and the bug is something more subtle.
It's a very nice screen though lower resolution than newer Readers. Apart from the mysterious dictionary bug it's pretty nice and not much different GUI to the older PRS350 which is lovely pocket sized. Someone ought to make something like that, maybe with the 5" eink on one side and an LCD phone on the other, about size and thickness of an A6 notebook. Fit suit pockets, jeans and handbags nicely. There was a Russian phone with eink on rear, interesting idea but a fail. A two part with hinge to allow fold 3 way is better.
