E.g. Onyx / BeBook's dictionary does not find words that are not in 'dictionary form' (it will find 'sing' but not 'sung'). I'm told that PocketBook does. I'm curious about the Kindle.
That will depend on the individual dictionary. Some dictionaries are much better at looking up inflected forms than others. There's certainly nothing in the Mobi dictionary definition which prevents it from working - the default English and American English dictionaries supplied as standard with the Kindle work absolutely fine with inflected words.
