Hey Patrick,
Thank you so much for your quick reply! I really appreciate it. The NE Ordbok is an excellent dictionary, and I’m glad it is included. Unfortunately, the Swedish dictionary on my current e-reader is quite poor, which makes it difficult to look up words efficiently. This is the info I needed to finally buy a Kobo. Thanks again for your help! |

Yes I now have the 2024 version of the Oxford English Dictionary. Which would be well and good except that this version seems to have removed the etymology of words from the 2019 edition, which I find very disappointing.

If you still have a copy of the dicthtml.zip file for the old version, you can copy it to the .kobo/custom-dict directory. When you look in Settings => Language and dictionaries => Dictionary and tap on edit on your Kobo, you should see an English dictionary with file size 12.4MB and and English (Custom) dictionary with a file size of 15.0MB. When you look up a word, you will see the newer dictionary but if you click on dropdown arrow beside English at the top of the popup, you can select English (Custom) for the older dictionary. You can also place the older dictionary in the dict folder but that copy will be overwritten at some point when you connect to Kobo.
