I have tried this dictionary game. The only problem is when I pick a word and imagine it in the book, it appears on the reflecting page in the mirror column, yet I do get the placement of the word usually correct.
That is a frequent occurance. With practice you'll train your mind to turn the information the right way around before presenting it to your conscious mind. When activating a book intially you might consider making sure you superread and dip both pages to get the information.
