From the E-ink side, Onyx Boox Note 2 seems to fit the bill - it is powerful enough to render the files without stuttering. My concern is that for a little bit more than its price(630 EUR here in Europe with some accessories) I can get a top of the line Samsung tablet which is a lot more powerful.
Ha. This isn’t your fault. It’s Boyue’s. Great hardware but their software is awful. I’m assuming you have a Likebook Plus running the original firmware or one of its supported updates (not the beta version 2). These instructions will allow you to use the included eReader and included dictionary app together.
1. Download a Stardict compatible dictionary from anywhere. I used the Webster’s from here: http://download.huzheng.org/dict.org/ My Likebook Plus saved the file under /Download (technically /Sdcard/Download depending on which file manager you use). Why there is also a /Downloads directory, I don’t know. 2. Unpack the dictionary file. More than likely, the dictionary download is in a compressed format. In my case, it’s in the tarball format. You’ll need a program to do this. On my Likebook, I just used: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rlab.rar&hl=en. Point it to your file you just downloaded and run it. I just let it extract right in the same directory. 3. Move the dictionary files to /Dict (/Sdcard/Dict). Create the directory if you haven’t already. In my case, they were comprised of the following: dictd_www.dict.org_gcide.dict.dz dictd_www.dict.org_gcide.idx dictd_www.dict.org_gcide.oft dictd_www.dict.org_gcide.ifo Don’t ask me what all these files do or if they really are all needed. I just know it works. 4. Add the dictionary to the dictionary app. Launch the Dictionary app. Select the gear icon in the upper left corner. Under “Dictionary Results”, you see your dictionary. Make sure it’s selected and hit “Save” in the lower left corner. Should should now be able to type in a work in the search box and get a definition. Also, highlighting a word in the included eReader and invoking the dictionary will also work. (The eReader dictionary does not work in version 2 of the firmware for some reason). If this doesn’t work, that means something’s off with the app’s cached settings. Clear the cache and re-add the dictionary. You do that by going to Android Settings, Apps, All, Dictionary and select “Clear Data” and “Clear Cache”. * I just noticed you have the T80 model. I have the T80S. You might have an updated firmware. In which case, you’re out of luck until they update the firmware. Dictionary will still work on its own but the included eReader is locked into English to Chinese as noted in a previous post. If that’s the case, there are several 3rd party eReader apps and dictionaries that work well. We can recommend some if needed.
