I never understood that part. I don't know how much they pay for those dictionaries, but why not simply let people buy the dictionaries they need and make the reader a bit cheaper ? Sony's market was for a good part in Europe, but if these are the same dictionaries as the PRSx50, they're all English orientated. People most of the times will need only 1 or 2 dictionaries, and there's a good chance the one you need is not included if you're not a natural English speaker. That's one of the reason I went for Kindle, which is not perfect in terms of dictionaries either. Dictionary look-up is one of the most evident functionality when you think "eReader" yet one of the worst in term of implementation.

Sorry for the OT...
