Howdy everyone,

Wow, after many sad years in the large-screen market, it looks to me like one of the Onyx products is going to be perfect to replace my old KDX (9.7"). One thing I liked on the Kindle was that depending on the language of the ebook, the device showed me definitions in different languages.

1. How do you look up a word on products in the Onyx Note line? Can you select the word with a finger? Then what do you do?

2. Is it possible to tell the device to use a specific English/English dictionary for books in English, a Spanish/Spanish dict for books in Spanish, and so on?

Thanks in advance for any information on this.\!
