where are sony wordlogs stored?

sovre · 03-14-2011, 06:35 PM

Does anyone happen to know where Sony stores the "wordlog" files that list all words looked up for each ebook read? I don't see any option allowing for the export of these logs; but I would be content enough if I could simply find where they are stored and then copy and merge them into one text file on my computer.

They seemed to be lumped in with other info in the cacheExt.xml file (full path is database\cache\cacheExt.xml).

Under each book I've read is <dicHistories> with the searched words listed under that section. I'm not sure if the list is cleared when you start another book though, or my other read books are clear because of all the fooling around I've done with PRS+ last week.

It allows you to keep word logs for multiple books. Also it only stores the last one hundred words in a book that you have looked up. Just an interesting tip that you can open the Dictionary within the Applications menu on your ereader and then select Options to see the Word Logs for everything you have looked up in that dictionary (all the books mixed together).

Thanks to both of you for the information.

That's a great feature, being able to see all looked up words combined. I hope Sony will add an option for exporting word lists.
