I downloaded a couple of ER Boroughs books in TXT format just to see how the dictionary worked. While reading the book you press the 1 key, and it highlights the first word on the page, you can move the highlight with the arrow keys, then press OK when you have the desired word highlighted.
If it doesn't have that word in the dictionary it will give you a best guess which is usually not related in any way. I'd like to see it give you a list of words that are close, but it doesn't.
It will also give you dictionaries in English, Eng-Rus, Eng-Pol, Eng-Spa, Eng-Ger, Rus-Eng, Pol-Eng, Spa-Eng, Ger-Eng, and Auto Detect.
I tried to invoke the dictionary in both Mobi and ePub formatted books, but no joy. It works in TXT, but not in those formats. I'm not sure what other formats. if any it works in, as when I upgraded the firmware it wiped out all the preloaded stuff so I don't have those files to test.
The other thing that it doesn't have, at least in Mobi and Epub formats is Hyperlink capability. TOCs don't work.
Even with those shortcomings, This is my favorite reader. My PRS505 will be going on the block soon I'm thinking!
