Pocketbook's dictionary would say that it's "a form of 'acheter'" but this message is not clickable, so if I wanted to know what "acheter" means I would have to click the "edit" button and edit my search query. This is extremely annoying.
On top of that you have to click two different buttons to add a word to the vocabulary builder - once to add the word and once to confirm that the word was added. This also gets very annoying very quickly.
And if you want to export the vocabulary builder you get a HTML file that only contains the words and their translations but does not contain the original sentence in which you've encountered this word. You can browse this information on your device but you can't export it.
Long story short - Pocketbooks are not good for language learning  |
Have you tried the dictionaries from
https://www.reader-dict.com/? They work really well for conjugated forms for me both in Nickel (default Kobo reading app) and koreader. Is it slow also in koreader on Pocketbook? Or do you just use the native reader app?
