I'm need some help with this one. I added a couple of translation dictionaries (converted from LIT format via Calibre) and a thesaurus (purchased from Amazon) to my K2. I wanted to change the primary dictionary for the lookup function to one of these to try it out, but when I followed the directions (from Home page, press Menu and choose Settings, then press the Menu button again) I don't have an option to change the primary dictionary at all. As in, not even there but greyed out, it is not on the menu choices at all.

I have updated my OS to 2.0.3, and I have both Savory and Screensaver Hack installed.

Any idea of what is wrong? Does the dictionary have to have a special format somehow for the K2 to recognize there is an alternative available? Any incompatibility with the hacks? Something change in OS 2.0.3? Or am I missing something else altogether? Any help will be appreciated.
