I've come across some moaning about the Kindle's poor support of foreign language dictionaries in a German forum. Users seem to be frustrated by what's being offered there, even though I have to admit that I didn't quite get all the problems. Does the Kindle have to identify the language from the ebook file to work correctly?

You highlight a word, and that word exists as an entry in your selected dictionary or it doesn't. In English, it idntifies root words from plurals or past tense forms. I don't know if that's 'language awareness' or just having properly crossreferenced forms in the dictionary, but I suspect the latter.
Also, I don't know how many Italian books Amazon has, but you don't need to get your books from Amazon.
