Hello,
I have a Kindle Paperwhite 3 which I use to read Japanese books on. The problem is that for a few pages the dictionary box doesn't appear when I highlight a word, just wikipedia and translation boxes, then it starts working for a few pages, this keeps going on for the whole book. This happens for some books that I have converted to mobi using Kindle Previewer 3.37.0 (I use Win7). I can't use Calibre for mobi conversion because it doesn't preserve the vertical text, it just turns it horizontal and word selection gets messed up. What is causing the problem and how can I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
