Touch Can I change the dictionary?

Chapter One · 03-05-2013, 03:39 PM

I have a Nook ST Glo, and I am wanting to know if I can change the default dictionary or at least add others?
I dont like the Webster's dictionary and would prefer to use an OED or one that uses spelling from my country.

Not without rooting it. There have been several earlier threads about dictionaries; I suggest you do a search (although the answer is no, so that's what you will find

)

I wonder if this is something that B & N are planning to add? If I look up a word it has an option to "change dictionary", but Oxford English is the only one available. Also under 'Settings' there's a "Manage Dictionaries" option, but again only the Oxford one is listed.

I agree, it sounds promising! That would really be nice.
