Android Dictionary App

ferretman · 05-26-2015, 08:39 AM

Hi Just been given a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, for me to use just as an ebook reader.

I've loaded FBReader and it works fine.

Am looking for a free english dictionary, that will allow me to look up certain words as I read, just by tapping or highlighting the word. ( just like on the paperwhite.)

Most of the one's I've seen, requires the word to be typed in to a box etc.

Is there an app that will allow me to use a look up dictionary in this way.

Thanks

It depends on the reader app.
Most readings Apps (Moonreader, Coolreader, FBReader, Alreader ...) are supporting the following dictionary apps:
GoldenDict, Colordict, Fora Dictionary and others.
Free dictionaries for those apps can be found on the web (from legal sources and others).
