Hello,
I have a Pocketbook 626 Touch Lux 2, I primarily use it to read in Japanese. It works great, except I could really use a built-in dictionary. I went to the official site, looked through the dictionaries on offer only to find that they don't have any kind of Japanese to English dictionary (or indeed Japanese to any other language).
So I googled some more, and found this:
http://zderadicka.eu/convert-diction...-ebook-reader/
Apparently it's possible to take a dictionary in ".xdxf" format, and convert it to a format used by Pocketbook. After a lot more googling, I found a Japanese to English dictionary somewhere in the following maze:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xdxf/files/dicts-XDXF/
I inspected the file, it seemed OK. So I tried to convert it. I used the "eng" folder for config files. The result was a .dic file, which I put in the /system/dictionaries folder of my reader. As a result I got a new dictionary in the menu, and after fiddling with font settings I got it to display correctly. The problem is, the search function misses completely. I tap a word in my book, and the dictionary displays a set of completely different words every time. I tried running the conversion again with empty config files, but the result was the same. I checked the original .xdxf file for some of the words I tried to find, they were there.
Either I'm doing something wrong during conversion (which is likely, I don't really understand those auxiliary files and their impact on the result) or the dictionary software simply doesn't support Japanese.
I tried updating my firmware to the latest version. It didn't help at all. In fact, it made things worse, because the system font has switched to one that doesn't support Japanese again, so I have a lot of rectangles - ▯ in the dictionary. And I can't seem to find a way to change the system font again.
Does anyone have a working Japanese dictionary for Pocketbook 626 Lux 2?
