The dictionary lookup mechanism works pretty well. The main problem is the lack of good dictionaries for it. For English, as already mentioned, you're really constrained to those in the public domain. One cannot (to the best of my knowledge) buy any of the best-known commercial English dictionaries (eg Chambers, Collins, Oxford, Webster's) in a suitable format for the PB. This is a considerable disadvantage if dictionary lookup is important to you, and you'd perhaps be better off buying a reader which has a good dictionary built-in, such as the Kindle, Sony, or iPad.
