Q: QuestionIf you find a word in your book you want to look up, what exactly is the process like?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I think it's slick. Extremely slick. The reader contains several different dictionaries built in. One american english, one british english, and then spanish/english, english/spanish, plus the same for french, german, italian, and dutch. You select one of these dictionaries when you set up your reader, but you can easily change it on the fly, even for just a single reference. When you are reading, if you double tap a word, an inset appears in the bottom quarter of the screen showing the definition (as much as will fit in the inset) from the currently selected dictionary. This inset also contains additional touch targets. Your choices with the new targets are: 1. Show a page of the dictionary, beginning with the selected word. From here, you can go forward/backward in the dictionary, change dictionaries, return to reading, ... 2. Show a page with the dictionary definition and the on-screen keyboard with the selected word in its entry position, so that you can edit the word and see the definition of that entry. This screen also shows similar words that you previously looked up. 3. A target to leave the word or phrase highlighted and return to reading. 4. A target to search forward/backward for the next occurrence of the word or phrase. 5. A target to close this inset and return to reading. While you are reading you can also hit the options button and touch the dictionary option. This will call up the on screen keyboard allowing you to enter a word to be looked up. When the dictionary screen is shown, the options button will allow you to change the current dictionary.

Q: Questionwhen I want to download a book do I need to be attached to a computer?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The sony ereader has to be attached to a USB port on your computer to receive books. You can use any computer for free ebooks. Free ebooks aren't protected by DRM. For the most part, free ebooks are books that are old enough that their copyright has expired. There are many excellent books available as free ebooks, use a web search to visit project gutenberg, the source for most of them, to see what is available. Books that you purchase or borrow from a library will almost always be protected by DRM. There are several different DRM schemes being used for ebooks. Sony can read epub and pdf files protected by Adobe DRM. You have to register your computer and reader with the same Adobe ID. Practically speaking, you probably will confine yourself to your own computer because of the need to install Sony and Adobe software on it to use your Adobe ID.
