So, I have a Pocketbook Era that I quite like. I read books in several languages, so it’s important to me to have dictionaries that function well.

The built-in dictionaries on the Pocketbook (in the .dic format) are a nightmare. They don’t reliably look up conjugated verbs, for one thing. I just looked up the French verb “comporterait” and it returned the noun “comportement.” In German, looking up “begrüßte” returns “begründen,” which is a completely different word. In addition, the available dictionaries are not very comprehensive in terms of vocabulary.

For most books, I use KoReader, which allows me to install my own dictionaries that can do all these very basic things.

But sometimes I want to use the Era’s native reading app, and the poor-quality dictionary functionality is a real disappointment.

There are so many things I like about Pocketbook (ease of Koreader installation, easy link to Dropbox, built-in Onleihe app, and more). But please fix the dictionaries!
