Runik

Generate and manage custom e-reader dictionaries for your favourite fictional worlds.

Motivation

Most e-readers have built-in dictionaries, letting you define words in-text as you read. While this feature can tell you the meaning of words like 'tabard' and 'thaumaturgy', it can't help you define names, places, or magical items specific to the world of your book.

Runik leverages the crowd-sourced info of fan wikis to generate custom e-reader dictionaries, extending the volcabulary of your e-reader to include fictional references.

Limitations

Runik is in early development and currently only supports Kobo e-readers. Kindle support is in the works and coming in a future update. In the meantime, if you are a tinkerer, you can use the Runik Builder tool to generate dictionaries and use one of the many other tools out there to convert it for use with Kindle devices.
