hi. i searched this thread but found no link for a .dic file for an english-english dictionary. The original one i got on my 603 has disappeared. Maybe since i updated last. I just realized now. Any help would be great.

X: is drive letter that will appear on your PC when you connect your reader to PC. It can be D, E, F ... depending on number of disks, CD, DVD drives and USB memory sticks connected to your PC. 2. In book, press OK. You get menu. Now go to the lower left corner, select dictionary. 3. A dictionary window appears and there is word highlighted on page. Press Down, Up, Left. Right to select word. 4. Press OK. Now you are in dictionary menu. When you press Up and Down now, you scroll the dictionary entry, when you press Left, Right you scroll in icon menu at the top of the dictionary window. 5. So, press Right until you are on icon that is in the right edge of menu. Now use Up, Down to select one of installed dictionaries. |

.dic file must be created specifically for PocketBook (and is even different for different models!) and the process non-trivial. There is application for Windows that lets you create PocketBook dictionary format from stardict dictionaries. For non-English dictionaries you have to write several files, such as "morphems" list, that are very poorly documented. In Russian. |

Sure, some stuck up and self-righteous folks will preach fire and brimstone, but since ALL of them have some music, software, books or art acquired without proper authorization from the putative "owner" you can easily dismiss them for the hypocrites they are. Now, I am not encouraging you to post links here as this would give some over-zealous mods a good reason to censor your post or even ban you, but I don't believe that they will act against a forumite only for expressing an opinion, even if the mods believe that this is a mistaken opinion. So let's joyfully wave the flag of "piracy" in the outraged faces of the doubleplusgoodthinkers and show them that we are not intimidated by them or the corporations who brainwashed them Cheers! |

Actually, I have another interesting query. Despite the very nice addition of 30+ dictionaries by pocketbook, few people need them all. I for one only use English, French and Russian ones. I know you can use the stylus to fast browse them by clicking on the blank borders on the dictionary list, but I have had the habit of erasing the others i dont need in settings/maintenance/dictionary.
Yet each new fw update activates them all again. Is there a quicker way than manually deactivating each dictionary every time on the device gui? Can one do it via the system file while pb603 is plugged into your pc? Regards to all the kind help. Plus thanks again for the english dicto Preem! Daniel |

It seems they use native .dict format, so I'd say it's a no.
