Your anger over the dictionary bug is causing you to be overly harsh in your descriptions of the device. By all means, point out the problems with using the dictionary, but don't make it sound like no one else will be able to read a technical EPUB with the device, because it isn't true.
Sorry, but read please my first post again if you do not see that I told about TWO big problems in AdobeViewer, not just "dictionary", that make the ePubs unreadable.
And the second one - is more important. Look at THAT. The fact that you can flip not fully filled pages with a HALF MINUTES waiting for the next page - is fact that ePubs are UNREADABLE in AdobeViewer (these are O'Reilly ePubs, they have a good coding, I examined the files, and they flips normally in FBReader, so - no complaints to "bad ePub" please). I will be old man yet read the book till the end with AdobeViewer.
So it's still unreadable in PB in the most cases. Sorry.
