I have the same kind of dictionaries on the Cybook Gen3 and I use them very often. From the content I am very satisfied, the handling, hm, after many many clicks with the buttons you have reached the word you want to have translated.
For German-English/English-German you can find an interesting and free alternative here:

Thanks for the infos! You guys make the touch scren sound
really good. :x Also, this dictionary looks great - whatever way I go, I'll probably use it, since I'm still very much in the progress of learning German.

If I had the opportunity, I'd most certainly try it. The problem is that none of my friends own one and there are no official distributorts of the Kindles in my country, so that only way to try it would be to order one and my budget is way too low to order something without being absolutely certain.
