Is there an ereader software that allows you to translate spanish books while reading?

Question

I love to read books in Spanish on my nook color, but it will not allow you to load a spanish dictionary to easily look up words while reading. I also bought a tablet pc that I will also read books using an ereader software, but again I can't find an ereader that allows you to look up spanish vocab words.

Please help!

Answer 1

The Oxford Spanish dictionary on a CD can be loaded on to a PC. It can be set so that when you double click on a word in any document or web page the dictonary will pop up to that entry in the dictionary. I don't know if it will sense a double click in a ereader, but if you are able to copy and paste from the ereader it should work. The CD is about $60, The dictionary is as complete as my paper unabridged version with examples of usage etc. and it will pronounce the words in either Iberian or Mexican Spanish. It is well worth the price.

Answer 3

I use the Sony PRS-650 to do exactly what you need. I read books in Spanish. To look up a word I tap it. The built-in dictionary (Spanish-English) provides the definition at the bottom of the page. The Sony PRS-650 keeps a log of all the words that I looked up. I use the log to quiz myself to see if I remember the words I looked up before. I also use the Sony PRS-650 to listen to audio book in Spanish while I read and follow along the same book. It helps my listening comprehension very much. I love this Sony model for helping me learn Spanish.
