Do you have different experience with Pocketbook's distionary
usage during book reading ?

Actually not: after brief initial enthusiasm I had to conclude that the 'dictionary' is the most disappointing feature of my Touch Lux 3:
- It's slow and cumbersome
- Learning that
"xquactioned" is the past participle of
"xquaction" doesn't help much to understand what the hell it means.
- Trying to deepen the search takes forever and in most cases leads nowhere but to a string of expletives.
- When one eventually swallows his frustration and goes back to the book (provided that the firmware doesn't lead him elsewhere) he must go back a few pages and read them again to remember where he was.
All in all I'm getting nostalgic for the old, accursed, nosy Kindle where at least you could look up
"apple" and learn at once that it's an edible fruit.
