I must say I am delighted with my recently-purchased Kindle 3. One of the features I most like about it is that it makes it so quick and easy to look up words...when reading in English.

The problem is that I also enjoy reading in Spanish and Portuguese, but the dictionaries available for those languages, both Sp.-Eng. and Por.-Eng., seem to be few and far between, and the ones I have seen on offer have so few entries that they are almost useless to anyone wishing to read texts written for Hispanophones or Lusophones. Nor have I found decent monolingual dictionaries for the Kindle in these languages.

I wonder if better foreign language dictionaries are in the works for the Kindle.
