Thank you for the reply. I did kinda figure it was pretty normal. In any case, I am very happy with PRS+.

There isn't a way of running the dictionary in the background I guess? The OS is probably not multitasking...

Maybe it should be considered using less black on the right side in the dictionary, actually? As far as I can see there is no real reason for it. Perhaps it could use black letters in white boxes instead...

Do you have any idea about when/if the context sensitive dictionary will be finished? That would be a mind-numbingly brilliant addition.
