When I had a Sony PRS-500 I didn't think I'd ever want to use a dictionary on an eBook Reader (after all, I never use one when I'm reading paper books). For me, though, at least, now I've got a very good dictionary on my Gen3, I wouldn't want to buy another eBook reader which didn't support them. I find myself using it all the time, and that it enriches the reading experience considerably. As you say, though, there are certainly other ways of achieving this.
