This is what happens when you use iBooks for look-ups in Canada
Apparently, we Canadians speak a very different language from the folks in Cupertino, eh?
Update: Aha! It’s really, really not made very obvious, but the dictionary feature of iBooks is actually dependant on the language metatag of the eBook you’re reading. See this post for more information – and thanks to Muero for correcting my mistake.


Why does Apple hate us so much up here in Canada…
Sorry Josh. I didn't understand anything you just said. You guys speak a diff language up there in Ottawa, and my dictionary didn't recognize any of your words.
This has nothing to do with being in Canada, it has to do with the language tag in the EPUB files.
interesting — will check into this, thanks. I assumed it was because the iBookStore has been insanely slow to launch in Canada, and that the iPhone version of the app was even slower. Will update this post if I can get this to work after fiddling around with the app.
