If you would like to have dictionary feature on your 505, please click on this link and vote for it.
It would give you the ability to pick any word in your book and find out the meaning of it.

Why an external poll page? Why not just attach a poll right to this thread?

The poll is actually on the project page for the PRS+ package. On the other side, I think that everyone interested is on the PRS+ thread anyways and most likely will know about the poll. There are many other features I would like to see implemented first, so in my opinion, I don't find it really fair trying to push specifice features (no offense) on other threads. The 505 also doesn't have a keyboard which makes usage of the feature more uncomfortable (again, in my opinion).

Yeah, I was thinking about it this morning, that I may have been PUSHING it with this thread. Sorry for that, I guess I was thinking that if more people knew about the voting thing they would vote, BUT I am slanting the POLL towards this feature.

Everybody should vote after seeing all the other OPTIONS and pick the one they most want.

p.s. I don't see the OPTION for putting in keyboard, or if it is there, I couldn't find it, so maybe that should be added to voting option.

This is the poll I was talking about and the voting as of today:

Your most wanted features are
Localization (Russian, German, French etc language support) 15% (118 votes)

Pictures & Songs support in Browse Folders 8% (64 votes)

File Manager (copy/delete/move files/folders) 16% (129 votes)

Context Dictionary (allowing to choose words from existing book) 17% (134 votes)

Additional fonts support (in LRF) 11% (88 votes)

Option to mark books as "read" 18% (143 votes)

Load media from existing cache.xml file, but not scan the card (if you don't get what it means, it's not for you) 7% (58 votes)

"search text" function 4% (32 votes)

Option to choose date format 2% (16 votes)

richman, there's no onscreen-keyboard and I think concerning page refresh rates, it wouldn't even be nice to operate. Also with just marking a word using the Joy-pad I think it would be cumbersome.

But thanks for understanding my concern about pushing options. I appreciate that.
By the way, what do you think about the manuals. I would love to get some feedback, too. This way, I can get the final or other coming versions better.
