For goldendict just Google it.

Here's a start.

It should work since the 3.0 update. However, I get a message urging me to "first install 3rd party dictionary apps", which means the installed dictionaries (goldendict and aard2) simply aren't recognized by neoreader for some reason.

I'll make do with Koreader and Alreader Pro X/E-ink - they both seem very competent. Thanks again for the link!

That Russian site seems like a goldmine. I've already bought goldendict and some reader apps on Google Play, but I was just thinking about how I could transfer them to the Hisense A5 Pro when it arrives (as it lacks Google Play); I'll just download the apk:s from there

As for the dictionaries, I'll keep looking. The ones I have right now for goldendict are pretty good; I just find the formatting a bit lacking. The definitions are supposed to be in normal style, while the examples should be in italics, and so on, but these details tend to get lost. It also doesn't mark the stress in Russian words (from screenshots it seems like it marks the stressed vowel by highlighting it in red -- at least on the computer version --, which obviously gets lost in translation on a BW screen).

I'll keep experimenting! So far I like this reader. I love the extra space a bigger screen brings with it - and having margins like in a real book makes for pleasant reading!
