don't you ever want to look up a word in english ? when i am reading in english, i make frequent use of the built-in english dictionary on my eb1150. However when i am reading in french, i also come accross words whose meanings i am not sure of, or would just like to verify, and i have a french dictionary on my eb1150 which i use to look these up manually. in fact, last night i was reading a paper book (The Case of the Gilded Fly, by Edmund Crispin) and there were several words i did not know, so i kept my eb1150 next to me and i looked them up on the dictionary as i went along.
a dictionary is important to me
regardless of what language i am reading in, if it's my mother tongue or my second language.
