Voyage loses dictionary

Ned · 09-06-2018, 04:46 AM

Wondering if anyone else has this problem.
Since the last firmware update to the latest version (5.9.7), my Voyage can't see the dictionary when I start a new book.

I've got the English and US ones installed, always have had, but when I search for a word in a new book, I get the message to turn on Wifi and look at wiki (I use airplane mode all the time) and when I swipe over to the dictionary panel , it says No dictionary installed. I then point it to the US and American ones that I have there and it works, till the next book.

Must be a feature they've added to enhance my dictionary experience.

I just tried it on my Voyage, and the dictionary worked fine.

I always use airplane mode if I'm on an airplane. Otherwise, I don't see the point.

My Paperwhite works fine with the new update.

I don't think Voyage users can have their experience enhanced. They live in the past with...buttons.

Everything works as expected on my Voyage. Maybe restart? Maybe remove dictionaries and re-download?

Thanks - looks like just me then.

Restart is always good, and if that fails will indeed re-download the dictionaries
