Bottom line is that it works with some formats but not with all of them, not with .epub
it appears.

It works with .txt and .pdb as a Menu option that lets you highlight a word using the
cursor keys then the "OK" button to bring up the definition. The "OK" button again gives
you a way to enter a word for lookup. Using the cursor keys when a word definition is
displayed lets you select the translation pages for that word or change the input mode.

That explains it perfectly, much thanks. As all my books are epub, I guess it is a good thing I don't plan to use the dictionary.
