Many readers have built-in dictionaries, and this really is something one should consider when deciding which device to buy. If one doesn't use a dictionary, then a PRS-300 is a good choice but, as you point out, it doesn't have a dictionary, and there's no real way to add one.

My only real suggestion would be to sell your PRS-300 (they fetch very good second-hand prices) and buy a reader which does have dictionary support.
