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.
Lack of dictionary lookup is a major shortcoming of the Sony Reader. Perhaps you should have bought a CyBook Gen3 instead . The MobiPocket store sells close to 200 different dictionaries, and they work GREAT on the Gen3.
