Dictionary? Thesaurus?

Stu Segal · 10-14-2007, 07:41 PM

Anyone know where I can get a useable dictionary and/or thesaurus?

I have tried some .pdfs, but the size and nature of dictionaries and thesaurus is impossible to negotiate.

Any suggestions?

It's not apt to be any better in a non-PDF, Stu -- the Reader just isn't designed for the sort of jumping around that's inherent in using a dictionary or thesaurus, and I rather doubt you're wanting to read them page by page.

This is one area where MobiPocket is a clear winner over the Sony - it has built-in support for dictionary lookup and it works very well indeed.
