K3 - Hide dictionaries on home screen?

SweetBearCub · 06-05-2014, 04:35 PM

I'm loving my K3g, but it's a bit annoying to always have the dictionaries (Oxford Dictionary of English & The New Oxford American Dictionary) visible on my home screen.

I only use them for word lookups while reading other books, I do not want them to be listed on the home screen as books that can be read like 'normal' books.

Is this possible?

EDIT: After I posted this, related threads appeared below the post. It seems, despite my searching before posting this, that it has been asked before, and the best option is to create a collection and hide them in that collection. I wish they could actually be removed from the Home Screen, but still be accessible for reference.

I use the sort option Recent, so while my dictionaries are on my home page, they are buried on the last page as I never open them. Looking up a definition from within a book doesn't open the dictionary, so it never moves up in the Recent queue.

I'm loving my Kindle Touch, which has a baked-in "Dictionaries" collection locked on the last page across all sort modes.

Ah yes, but does your Kindle Touch have unrestricted 3G access, audio capabilities, etc? ;-)

Audio, yes. 3G, no. (but I don't need it. I don't even have the 3G version.

)

The 3G comes in handy sometimes, and I'd rather have it and not need it than need it at some point and not have it, especially when the price difference is a minimal one time extra.
