It does not appear to have an English Dictionary of ANY kind on its site! Wouldn't it be nice to be able to look up a word while you were reading? It does, however, have "Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary II". The perfect device and ebookstore for Americans today.
A dictionary for the Sony Reader does not makes much sense to me. I can not imagine leaving a book that I am reading, just to open up an ebook dictionary and try and find the word I do not know. A built in dictionary like the Kindle would be nice though.
