I tried it on my Dell Axim (WM2003).

First, I must put the selector in the taskbar :twisted: (nearly always visible to be accessed from within another app).
Secondly, I had to nearly empty my device to install the app (how much free space does it need exactely :?: 10 MB :?: )

When I try to lookup a word from Mobipocket, I get the full screen mode (of Mobipocket Reader) :!:

Moreover, I looked at the demo dictionary content, it is poor.

I prefer to stick with Mobireader standard dictionaries, at least it works well and I can test as many dictionaries as I want.

It's up to you!

Our product and databases can be stored anywhere as you wish (e.g on CF or SD card)

You can place "eSelector" anywhere on the pocketpc's screen the application is movable

Anyway, thanks for your opinions and hope that the next release will be better

I have to agree with keelinlee. This app is a great idea but in practice things do not work that well. The most important drawback is that having another app running, it sure takes more resources that having a dictionary in Mobipocket. I was enthusiastic before I tried the app but finally I bought a dictionary from Mobipocket.

But the fact that it did not work for me does not me that it's not a good app. For instance it a great idea for someone browsing the web who needs to look up words at the tap of a button.

And I am sure next release will be better. Keep up the good work.
