I'll readily admit that it's not ideal. The dictionaries Sony sells don't work the same way as the built-ins. I'm lucky that four of the translation dictionaries I bought for Kindle had equivalents built-in to Sony, so I didn't feel the need to duplicate purchases. I like that my Kindle's dictionary capabilities are expandable, it's something in the Kindle's plus column that is unanswered by my other devices.

My example was meant only to illustrate that good dictionary support is possible with ePub readers, even without the benefit of standardization.
