Paperwhite firmware upgrade arrives, spruced up dictionary lookups

Alexander Turcic · 09-06-2013, 06:51 AM

Psst. Have you heard? With all the recent coverage of the new Paperwhite, it's easy to miss that Amazon just released a new firmware for their first-gen Paperwhite. Among the general improvements and enhancements, one nice new feature to have is the option to select a different dictionary while looking up a word. Also, when a looked up word has different meanings, you can now navigate through the various definitions from within the dictionary definition window. Finally, found search terms are highlighted now (something we think is so intrinsic that it should have been included with the very first firmware release).

Did you already upgrade and want to share your experience? Or are you still holding off for a while to see what other users have to say? Then come and join us in the on going firmware discussion.
