Regarding visual problems, I do not use Alreader. I use Alreader Pro X. I highly reccommend you use Alreader Pro X. The interface is better, it's much simpler to use, less problems with e-ink.

Also goldendict works better with it.

Edit: I've looked for Alreader Pro X, but it's hard to find. Weird. I have an apk specifically for e-ink. Works great. But I cannot find it on the web. Maybe I can upload it somewhere.
Maybe I was unclear. What I meant was that I've installed both goldendict and aard2 and added dictionaries to them. They both work fine in other readers. It's just that Neoreader doesn't detect that they're installed when pressing the 3rd party dictionary button after a long press on a word. It complains that no dictionaries apps are found (it should find goldendict at least, I don't know if aard2 is supported by Neoreader), and that I should not freeze the dictionary apps (I haven't done this manually, and don't really know what it entails).

What's the difference between stardict and .bgl? Where can I find the latter?

Thanks, I'll check it out!
