Very true, and this is a matter of device firmware. Eg, the Mobi firmware for the Bookeen Cybook range of readers also supports lookup in multiple dictionaries, and returning multiple matches for a lookup. The Kindle could certainly do with improvement in this area.

Also when you browse the dictionary itself, it doesn't support inflections at all.

Mobi dictionaries do support inflections, but it's up to the dictionary creator to ensure that inflected forms are present in the dictionary, of course.
