Has anyone successfully changed the default dictionary to a different one?  I'm finding a lot of the books I read do not have words that can be defined, at times, by the default one and was going to look into getting a different one.  Anyone tried that?

I'd be interested in finding out if that can be done.

There are instructions for changing dictionaries in the User's Guide.  Chapter 7 I think.

I haven't heard of any dictionaries that are available.  It seems that they have to be in a special format to be the lookup dictionary.  There were some foreign language dictionaries available that people were talking about for a while that worked, so it can be done, but I don't know of a larger English dictionary that is available.
