One more tap expands the entry to full page and allows changing the dictionary (while still retaining the same word-entry).
That's exactly the way it works on other touch-screen devices, too.

(By the way: there is just no way at all I could have known beforehand which dictionaries would come with my Sony. This is especially annoying in Europe - but that's another story.)
Sure there's a way: ask right here. That's what we're here for.
