Please don't accuse people of being "dishonest". Nobody has been, and it's not a very nice thing to accuse people of.

The bug might have been discussed, however, it was never mentioned when someone asked about CyBook Gen3 features. No one said something like that:
it has the feature but it is buggy now and with some dictionaries after 3-4 words it locks up the entire reader and we don't know when it going to be fixed. Everybody who mentioned the feature just said - oh we have such a brilliant feature, dictionary lookup!
I will give you a similar example about Sony Reader.
If someone asks: what formats does it support?
The answer: lrf, rtf, txt and pdf. IMHO a dishonest answer. You may argue as long as you want to but that's my opinion.
Whenever anyone asked me this question I would always say:
Lrf, rtf, txt and pdf - however, you will not be able to read your A4 collection of PDFs. Sony makes this type of pdf unreadable, because it shows your A4 text on 6" screen. Impossible to read. Be prepared to convert PDFs but it is an arduous task, sometimes next to impossible. You might read comfortable only PDFs created by following special instructions.
Yes, this is the right answer. I am talking about time before pdflrf existed. I remember quite well that many people gave the former answer....
