Diamante, thank you very much for your long comparison of the Kindle and Sony dictionaries.

Could you do me a favor and check one more thing:
Are your dictionaries able to find words that are not combined by an hyphen like in your example above but by an em-dash like in this quote from "Pride and Prejudice"

Affectation of candour is common enough—one meets it every where. But to be candid without ostentation or design—to take the good of every body's character and make it still better, and say nothing of the bad—belongs to you alone.

My mobipocket dictionary (Pons on a Gen3) is unable to find words with an em-dash as are the dictionaries inside the Pocketbook 902 (epub). But as this quite often occurs I would be interested to know if there are any dictionaries that could translate both words of such a combination correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help.
