Let's look at how with the Bookeen device you can look up words from within the book your reading using your choice of dictionaries? That feature right there is worth every penny of 350.00 to me.

It's very much a personal decision as to whether it's worth spending the extra. It is for me because it supports MobiPocket, which I've decided to make my personal "standard", since it's supported on so many devices. I also like the fact that it has a user-accessible battery, and that you can very easily add your own fonts to the machine. Dictionary support is of little interest to me.
We all have our own views about the perceived "value" of different features.
It's great that we have a choice of two excellent machines such as these.
