Maybe activation will solve some of these, as I found years ago that ome
stuff would magically start working after activation but here goes:

1) When using Reader PPC on my WM5 pda, if you touch the screen for any
reason, from that point on every time you change a page the first word is
highlighted as the current selection. So any time I actually add a highlight
or lookup a word, I have this annoying behavior, until I leave Reader and
come back to it.

2) When looking up words ( I have the Oxford English Dictionary with 250,000
entries on a storage card), the latest version of Reader likes to 'select'
the word I just lookup up, so that
a) I can't just use the scroll buttons to scoll from page to page thru the
dictionary, I have to 'deselect' the word I looked up.
b) The freaking input keyboard or whatever pops up every time this happens
as well.
c) and to top it all off... deselecting the looked up word either
accidentally closes the dictionary popup... or pops up the lookup context
menu in the dictionary window over and over and over....

And all of this stuff used to work fine. Now, eveyrtime I use one of these
features I get *angry* that this *basic* functionality is completely
frustrating. Then I spend on hour looking for new readers that might take
the place of Reader, hoping that something has come along that works.
