Sorry to hear that; I understand, from previous posts, why you want the dictionary, but honestly, if an ereader only had 30 minutes of life, but a fantastic dictionary, you'd be happy with that?

Seriously, I was disapointed that the dictionary was pretty lackluster as I wanted it specifically for my 9 year old, who reads well above her grade level, but needs help with some words; I thought a built in dictionary would be great for that. However, it wasn't the primary reason for buying it and knowing what I know now, I'd probably still make the same choice. it's a good little device for what it was intended for: Reading books. If having the dictionary was really important, I probably would have went with Kindle, however budget is a concern, and I wasn't ready to pay close to $200 for each of my 3 devices (that's for the e-reader, exchange rate and import charges), not to mention the Kindle can't be used with libraries, which my daughter and wife use very frequently.

But I'm glad you were able to get the info you were looking for. good luck with whatever e-reader you end up choosing!
