That is how it has worked with at least some of the software readers (Mobi and eReader, that I know of).

That's the way it works with the Gen3, and I prefer it too. It allows one to choose whether one wants a dictionary of British or American English, for example, or even to buy specialist dictionaries such as dictionaries of art or history.
