I figure its hardcoded into the firmware and they've done it so they can use different dictionary sets in different regions. It's kind of annoying though especially as I don't even use the dictionary's
I just spoke to a Sony rep from the US and after a while he confirmed that part of the region settings cannot be changed in international models. I asked him to pass along my wish to fix this in a firmware release and he said he would.

Not that I'm holding my breath.

Well, that sucks. This is the last Sony Reader I bought. It's (at least in my case) a huge step back from the T1: the contrast is worse, I can no longer buy books on the device and the display glass shows fingerprints a little more prominent than the T1.
