Where's my Dictionary?
I just noticed that my JBL doesn't seem to have any menu options that point to dictionary. I never use it, so it is no big deal, but I wonder if I might have deleted it when I was cleaning out some of the extras in the root memory.
Any ideas? I have the current firmware. |

The Dictionary function works with the reader program, so the firmware must implement
any dictionary interface that the reader program may have, for the dictionary to work, as an integrated function. Bottom line is that it works with some formats but not with all of them, not with .epub it appears. It works with .txt and .pdb as a Menu option that lets you highlight a word using the cursor keys then the "OK" button to bring up the definition. The "OK" button again gives you a way to enter a word for lookup. Using the cursor keys when a word definition is displayed lets you select the translation pages for that word or change the input mode. Luck; Ken |
