Hi! I'm looking to buy an ebook reader to read books in various languages, including French. I'm wondering how good the French-English dictionary in Sony Reader PRS-T1 is. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about it?

More specific questions:

Can you look up conjugated words? E.g. does it understand that "rebondiraient" is the same word as "rebondir"?

How about slang words or more unusual formal words? Can it translate words like "donzelle", "lourdingue", "macchabée", "bourre-pif", "itou" or "naguère"?

Is it possible to look up French expressions and/or compound words? E.g. "moelle épinière", "montrer patte blanche" or "faire du stop"?
