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.
We'll sell Lingvo dictionaries in the appropriate format pretty soon. They will, alas, be quite expensive.
