[Q] Google Play Book dictionary stopped working after update

Before the latest update (on 7th Oct), the dictionary in play book was working fine. After update, it stopped working, but the translate function still works. Is this common for all?

I've noticed the same exact thing on my Nexus 7. Its really bugging me because I do use Play Books and the offline dictionary all the time.
Is there an older version of the Play Books APK that can be downloaded?

Same here... Why is no one else bothered by this? Does everyone use the Kindle app?

I am very bothered by this. lol
Has anyone found a solution for this. Can any other people confirm if it's working or not?
If not i'm thinking of moving away from play books. What are some alternatives with a clean interface and the ability to change the background?

I have the same problem. Whatbi find interesting is that its only a problem is the eBook in self uploaded. If you brought a book via play store or download a free sample from the store then the dictionary works fine.

Good news: I got a reply to a Play Store review saying that this is a bug and that they will resolve it very soon. Fingers crossed!

Better news! It's finally working for me. Can't believe something so small had been bugging me so much. Glad it's back.

Sorry to pull this thread out but the dictionary is not working for me on the note 3. I am on CM11 4.4 KitKat, is this the cause?

Hendre

Let me know if it works

Thanks but didnt work. Pandora has an APK specifically for Android TV. looks like that was for a regular phone.
Do you have a. NP that you could extract it from please?

I would also love this apk...
Hi Guys,
I'm also Canadian and hate the regional crap with the Playstore.
I would also love to get an extracted apk for the Nexus Player's version of Pandora.
Additionally, is there anyway, to change Google account settings to achieve this?
I'm doubtful, because I had to pay more to get this device, because Google does NOT allow separate shipping & billing addresses like Amazon.com does! So the box had to come to my house in Canada instead of my US Box.
Anyway, any suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks guys.
Dan

I've been working on this for a week now. It seems to me that you will have to root your phone if you reaally want google play. I still haven't got it working but there are several dependent apps that you'll need like Google Services Framework and
Google Play services. Some of the dependent apps will need to run as system apps, Well, that's where I am in this puzzle with a sm g5308w.
Let me know if you find the complete answer...

Google Camera from Play Store vs Port

Hello guys, so i was reading (and watching samples) that Google Camera app improve photos/videos drastically and i read that u need root your phone and change some build file and blabla but then i found that i can actually download the app normally from the play store (which is this one): ht tps://play.goo gle.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
So my question is, it will work perfectly just downloading it officially from the Play Store or i need to make this "port"? If yes why and what is the difference?
Thanks very much guys!
Cheers

Well why not try it and advise people here of the outcome. What do you have to lose?

Anyway, give it a try!
