I just received my PRS-600 yesterday, and I'm really pleased with it. The screen is very easy to read -- I'm not having a glare problem that some people are complaining about. And navigation is extremely easy.

However, although it's a feature I won't use that much, the dictionary look-up feature stopped working today. Any time I tap on a word, I get a circle with a horizontal slash (a sort of "no" symbol I suppose in the status line at the bottom of the screen. Previously the dictionary definition would appear at the bottom of the screen. I've reset/rebooted the device and it didn't fix the problem.

Anybody else have this problem or know of a solution? Thanks!

[UPDATE: I solved the problem by downloading and reading the user guide. D'oh. You have to double tap the word . . . A moderator can delete this post if he/she wants, unless, of course, the idea is to continue to display the post as evidence of my, er, violation of RTM.]
