Hello all, apologies if the answer is elsewhere on this forum. I searched, but couldn't find exactly what I am after. I am also a newbie when it comes to eReaders so forgive my naiveté if I am asking the wrong things.
I am fortunate enough to be able to read in many languages (with different levels of expertise, of course). The question is: is there an eReader that is especially made for multilingual people? I read in (in order of competence/interest) Spanish, French, English, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Catalan, German, Greek, Turkish, Arabic. So I would want (1) support for non-Roman characters, (2) monolingual (not translation) dictionaries. (Anything that can do the first five of the list is totally acceptable to me at this point).
Incidentally, I own a Sony PRS-600. I like the ability to tap on a word to access the (English) dictionary. I'd want that, of course, for all the other languages.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
