Although I'm really liking my Pocketbook Era, the dictionary could sure be better.

From the link in this post (or an earlier post of the link with the same dictionaries link)...

The dictionary that I downloaded is the very bottom one on this page...

I see they now have one with a newer date just above it. I don't know what the difference would be.

Once downloaded, just connect your PocketBook to your computer and go to the system folder, then to dictionaries folder (if it doesn't exist just create a new dictionaries directory, but I'm pretty sure it already exists). Once you're there copy your dictionary file with the ".dic" extension into that folder.

Then disconnect your PocketBook. Tap your Apps icon, then tap the Dictionary icon, then tap the "dictionary" icon (just below the battery icon, near the top right). At that point you should be able to scroll to the bottom of your "Select Dictionary" window and see a "Webster's 3rd NewIntDicUnabridged" entry. Just select it and exit.

It's possible that you will have to restart after copying your dictionary to the dictionaries folder, but I don't think it's necessary (it's been a while since I've done this, so I could be wrong).
