I guess, dictionary is minor but nice to have (considering that English is my fifth language). Is there one?

Sorry for asking so many questions, but moving from the physical books to digital ones is a huge step for me.

Thanks again,

1. Pretty much all current readers use the same infrared touch screen. I don't find it at all over-sensitive, no. A light tap, and the page turns. I don't think I've ever turned multiple pages, or turned a page by accident.

2. Yes, you can organise and search your books. I would note, though, that you can't search a Russian book because there's no Cyrillic keyboard.

3. The reader automatically remembers your current reading position in every book. You can also set manual bookmarks, highlight text, add notes, etc.

4. Yes, there is an English dictionary. You can buy additional dictionaries in the Kindle bookstore.
