Okay. Thanks. I'll probably try this out. It sounds like it might be something like the Latin dictionary/lexicon I found for the Tolino. (In its case they call it a "dictionary" but it sounds like it works like this lexicon — maybe it has the same source.)

I would also. Quite a few of the books I read (older ones) have Latin quotes.

Likewise, I’ve also changed from a grey to gold. I love gold devices, so I had to, really. Battery life with the grey was terrible, gold was terrible initially, then it became much better for a time with one particular firmware, now it’s back to being terrible again. I still love reading on it, though, so it can stay for now.
That is what I did. I sold the gray on ebay and bought the gold

Hi
- I was in the same situation. maybe, that "Inkpad 3 - Inkpad 740 " would be an alternative.

- Look for yourself : https://www.pocketbook-int.com/us/su...tbook-inkpad-3

Screen : "7.8"
RAM : 1Gb
CPU : Dual-Core
And very good baterie and AUDIO ! support, audio ebook + mp3 and TTS (text to speech).

Somebody should tell amazon that he kindle oasis 2 has some sort of battery firmware issue.

What is the best firmware for long battery time?

I hope it does. They must know about the Oasis 2 battery problems.

- None, problem is not the firmware, problem with Oasis 2 is battery.
  • Kobo H2O 2edititon = 1500 mAh
  • Kinlde Oasis 1 = 1 290 mAh
  • Kindle Osais 2 = 1 000 mAh

With 1000mAh do not lay miracles
