I will admit that I've never attempted to use the dictionary feature on either my PB360, or my i62HD. For that matter I cannot remember ever having looked up a dictionary in conjunction with a dead tree book either. When I do look up a dictionary, it is generally the full OED, more often for a word's etymology rather than its meaning (and when the latter, more often than not for the finer shading between its alternate meanings).
But I should have allowed for the fact that reading habits differ, and that therefore for some users some particular customisation function or refined implementation of a feature will be a 'must have', though I am unsure if this is a sufficiently widespread or unidirectional factor to alter my above analysis.
