PRS-950 Notes and Dictionary

[dumbtechie]

While you are reading a highly advanced book, the sony reader allows the person to take notes. But what I find intriguing is the fact that once you put it on note-taking mode, you cannot do the dictionary app that you can use when you double tap a word. Is there a way I can fix this or must I constantly exit out of the note-taking mode to get the definition of a word every time I find a word particularly advanced?

I didn't know you can read in a note taking mode. I thought you activate the feature only when you want to take a note, then go back to the standard - default - reading mode.

You can turn pages by swiping on the screen or with the hardware buttons in note mode just like normal. You just need to make sure you've unchecked the highlight or handwrite boxes in the upper left corner before you swipe to turn but the hard button page turning works always.

Re the original question, I don't know how to do a dictionary lookup in note taking mode.

Cheers,
Simon.

I agree--never been able to use both at the same time. Wish Sony would improve their software functionality, esp. on the android.
