pity. maybe there is a way to download the page and then read it as html or another format, and at least off line using the dictionary?
I do not want to criticize but look awkward to me how sony can miss such an essential feature, considering that today learning new languages is so common , and it will be OF COURSE really cool to read the news in Spanish, French, English Italian and so on.
I have now serious doubts to buy the TRS1 having already a prs650 that works as a charm without wifi

From a Chrome or Firefox browser on a PC, you can use the "dotEPUB" extension to convert web pages to EPUB files for reading on a T1. The built-in reader features (dictionaries, highlight, add note, search, Wikipedia, Google) work fine with these files, since they are in standard EPUB format.
While browsing the web on my PC, I often see articles which I'd like to save to read later on my Sony. Here's the procedure I use:
1) From Chrome, I click on the "dotEPUB" icon to convert the current web page to EPUB format. I save this to the Dropbox folder on my PC. The file is automatically uploaded to "the cloud".
2) On the PRS-T1, I use the built-in web browser to go the Dropbox mobile web site and select the file I created earlier. This is downloaded and added to my collection of books.
3) I read the article as I would any other EPUB file and either delete it or keep it after I'm finished.
I don't think there is any way to run the "dotEPUB" conversion directly from the Sony's web browser; I think you need to do this from a PC. (I'd love to hear if someone has a workaround so that everything can be done from the PRS-T1 itself.)
