Well, a third keyboard layout certainly is doable. (I'd just have to edit a Photoshop file and push around some letters.) I'll note that idea for a version 0.8/9!

Better yet, if you could create an editable text file with configuration options or simple control program that would allow users to tweak the keyboard layout themselves [...]

This one is more complicated. The screen graphics are prepared as PNG files from which "cutouts" are set in an XML file. In theory all letters from the keyboard could be defined as "skin ids"; which would mean at least 10 rows which would have to be requested from the user then inserted into program source code...
I'm afraid that would lead to much confusion for users (and maybe me while developping it?). But I will keep the idea in my mind.

I really do appreciate the work you've put into this and it seems like the perfect solution to the dictionary issue. Thanks again!

I am glad you like the work so far - and told me so
As to your first question about English dictionaries I think this may not be the right thread.
I am German and use my DictioLauncher mainly for reading Italian and now and then for English words. But I just need a translation...
When you use "Advanced Search" on this site and look for "dictinary" ONLY in title and "Search Forums" "Sony Portable Reader" you'll get some threads (apart from "mine") that discuss this topic, I think.
Have a nice evening / good day! Clemens
