Dictionary in Books not working anymore (macOS Monterey)

Dear all,

I wonder whether the Dictionary is working in the Books app or not. Since I updated to Monterey, it's impossible to find words from Books in the Dictionary. The three-fingers option is active in the Preferences (as you can see in the pic below), and indeed it works in any other app, Safari, Pages, etc. I found it useful while reading in Books, it helped me to write notes, but it does not work anymore.

How can I fix it? Thank you! Cheers from Italy!

Hello epikish and thanks for the reply. I must say that changing the book I was reading seemed at first to fix the issue. For a few days I thought it might be a problem of the ebook, for some weird and unexplainable reason. But then it happened again, also while reading the other books. It could not be the epub. I hope they fix this and reintroduce the categories tag, since this oversimplified version of the app does not help to browse among the books as the previous ones!
