I've installed the Webster english dictionnary but although I find it in my dictionnaries, it can't seems to find any definition to any word. I've deleted it and put it on my Kobo Clara again but same result. Is this a common issue ?

[RobertJSawyer]

Which exact vesion of Webster's are you using? (What is the byte size of the file?)

I have several versions, and they all work just fine.

The file is 11 341 kb. I've try others by the way, same issue. There must be something I'm not doing right but I don't see what.

Did you remember to reboot after installing any new dictionary?

Thankyou, it's about to make a reread of Dune that much more enjoyable. If I could have just a little more help with another fictionary, it's provided from the same source. It's a fictionary for Terry Pratchett's Discworld (link to website). I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I've just switched from a ten year old kindle to Kobo and this has really made it that much more enjoyable so I thank you again.

To avoid such problems and similar issues, use dicutil.

Works perfectly on Kobo Clara HD.
Huge thanks <3

I've renamed the file and rebooted and synced the kobo multiple times but to no success. Is there something else I could try? The other one worked flawlessly.
