we put ALL the files in one directory. and instruct all users to unzip the Dictionary-vX.zip into the "Sony Reader"

Well, at the moment I have to have dictionary itself in the internal memory of the Reader - it's the only way I can access it from the internal shell so far. And if it's really a fact that reading from the card drains battery, it would be probably wiser to let it stay there. Some installer would be probably possible, though (eg. copy everything onto card and move dictionaries to the internal memory at the first start) but I am still wondering whether it's worth the effort, especially when we're able to help people with installation problems here in forum.

It seems to me like the most likely route to a solution to this problem is to somehow insulate the program from the Reader firmware's functioning and/or the card itself.

I am afraid that it might be almost impossible thing to do, as the program is running basicaly as a part of PRS internal "firmware" application. I guess that the glitches and problems we're encountering are happenig simply because we don't know how to pop-up application "properly" (how to set all appropriate variables etc.), but honestly - to debug anything on the unit is quite PIA and debug something that's hard even to reproduce consistently is pretty frustrating - eg. today I spent good 30 minutes over a single trivial typo in the code that would be spotted immediately under normal circumstances...
Anyway, enough whining, on with new version:
DictioLaunchX-0.87:
* Added scrolling for long definitions (up/down arrow)
* Left/Right arrows disabled before first search (source of lags)
* If you feel like that, you can change clearAfterSearch from "false" to "true" in autorun.js - that way the input line will be cleared for you after you enter a letter after you finish search. Somebody likes it, somebody doesnt - for the time being, default is to have this functionality disabled (you still have Mark button for quick clearing of input line), in some future version it might become settable via user settings.
