Looking up Words From the Notepad

You can look up words and phrases from your notebook by sending them to
certain digital books.  Not all digital books, however, can receive
words.  And most digital books can't receive more than one or two words at
a time.  So don't send long phrases or entire line.

Plus.

    highlight it by pressing MORE.

    press ENTER.

4.  Press ENTER again.

notepad, so can you send them between certain digital books.  Remember,
