potentially stupid "lookup" function question

rheostaticsfan · 09-08-2008, 02:21 PM

So I've never successfully looked up a word while reading a document then returned to my original book.

Is this possible without going back to the library and reopening the book?

After looking into the word (finding it in the dictionary), click the central key to open the menu and choose “back”, this will return you to the book you where reading.

Best regards,

Or click the third button from the top on the left side of the Cybook, it means "back".

Yes, the "Back" button on the side of the machine is the easiest way to do it. Also, if you get multiple "matches" for the definition of a word, clicking "Back" after reading each definition will take you back to the list where you can select another definition. Clicking "Back" a second time will take you back to the book.

However, I sometimes get caught in a loop where I can't get "back" when I press either the "back" on the list or the "back" side button. Very frustrating. I'll do the firmware update this weekend and maybe that will help.
