Their home page lists .mobi as supported format and nothing is mentioned about dictionary limitation.

I am a bit disappointed with TOUCH. Hopefully, Amazon will update the software/firmware to improve performance and these issues. Otherwise, I may have to return it.
Make sure your mobi books have their metadata set to "English". Otherwise, the dictionary is not going to work.
