MobiPocket might give dictionary support almost by default. Does Adobe even have dictionary support today?

The problem with MobiPocket is that their Java reader is an orphan that does not seem to have been worked on in years (even given its use in the Kindle), with very poor control over the display of text on the screen. It has been the only DRM game in town for Linux based readers, so I hope they get their act together now Adobe is shaping up as a real competitor. Bookeen has the best MobiPocket/Kindle E-Ink text renderer currently, because (if I understand correctly) they are not using the Java reader.
