I LOVE the dictionary on my EB1150 -- I use it all the time! I wish I'd had the ability to do this in a PB all those years, instead of having to roam about finding a dictionary and then wasting time searching for the word. Now it's just about instantaneous.
I'm a teacher, and it occurs to me that students would use the dictionary a lot more if it were this easy. Vocabulary is key in academic achievement.
For me, this is a major flaw of the Sony. Is it something that can be fixed by an update in future? If not, I doubt I'd buy the Sony.
[BTW, if anybody has a superb dictionary to recommend for the EB1150, please let me know. A number of words I've looked up (Random House Concise Dictionary) haven't been listed.]
