- Both FBReader and CoolReader support the Aard dictionary app (see F-Droid), which works very well : I have installed dictionaries & some wiki's. I guess the latter ones emulate the functionality of Amazon Kindle's X-RAY : it's very nice to have an instant encyclopedia lookup function by e.g. double-tapping a word while reading.
- It appears FBreader does not, but al least CoolReader supports the previous/next hardware keys.
