Thanks so much for all your comments - I had been wondering about dictionary facilities too.
I am a teacher of dyslexic students and was thinking of buying an e-reader to help them with their reading skills. It is likely that newspaper articles would be more appropriate than books, which we wouldn't have time to read much of in a 40 minute lesson. However, for my own use, I probably would want to be able to buy books as well as access free ones.
It sounds as though the 'all singing and dancing' version that I was hoping for has not yet been developed, but the Kindle certainly sounds interesting, after a wait for us in the UK. Roy's 'bells and whistles' certainly sounds like what I am looking for!
I do have a notebook PC, so I shall perhaps investigate the possibility of downloading e-books onto that. I haven't tried. Might I have to download special e-reading software, or might it already be installed, with WORD for example?
Many thanks! Linda
