## Troubleshooting

### Dictionary Not Working

1. Verify dictionary files are in `/dictionaries/dict-data/`
2. Check that all required files exist (.ifo, .idx, .dict.dz)
3. File names must match exactly (case-sensitive)

### Bookmarks Not Saving

1. Ensure SD card is not write-protected
2. Check available storage space
3. Bookmarks are saved per-book in `/.crosspoint/`

### Search Not Finding Books

1. Search only indexes books in the library
2. Ensure books have proper EPUB metadata
3. Try searching by filename if metadata is missing

### Images Not Displaying

1. Only PNG and JPEG formats are supported
2. Very large images may fail to load due to memory constraints
3. Check for sufficient free memory (multiple large books open may exhaust memory)
