As far as this dictionary issue goes, PB has definitely handled it badly. However, as the dictionaries were trial versions, PB didn't have the right to have them work indefinitely on the readers. If they weren't already under legal pressure from the dictionary owners, then they probably would soon be if they didn't work towards expiring the commercial dictionaries they distributed. It sucks, but we don't have any legal right to keep those dictionaries working forever.
