The dictionary part of the JB and JBL is over rated. I have found that it lacks a majority of the words that I look up. Basic english is ok. If you need other languages then it probably would work for you.

I would have preferred that they strengthen the English dictionary and drop the other languages or at least offer that option as a FW upgrade. (but Ectaco is a language translation tools company).

Something else worth mentioning - the Dictionary is not available for use in ePub and PDF documents on the JB(L)'s. It is available in all the other formats.

Currently w/re to ePub docs the ALP cannot use the <> keys to do paging where as the JB and JBL can. This can be convenient for those that want to use their right hand to change pages while holding the device.
