dictionary feature #180

Open aliabbasjp opened 12 years ago

aliabbasjp commented 12 years ago

The only thing to complete this would be a dictionary lookup as supported by kindleos, what can be done to implement this feature?

dpavlin commented 12 years ago

That would be nice, but dictionaries are in /opt/amazon/dict as azw files (mobi with DRM) which coolreader doesn't support.

aliabbasjp commented 12 years ago

we can either strip the DRM protection or use open dictionaries like stardict??

houqp commented 12 years ago

Hei, crengine already supports dictionary look up feature. It can read open format dictionaries like those used by stardict and probably some other formats (I did not check it yet). So this feature is already there and all we need is time to write a lua wrapper for it.
