I live in Europe so I couldn't really take advantage of the services Kindle has to offer. Ofc if it's possible to connect it to the PC then it could turn the tide in its favor.

So you don't actually have to type in the words on the CyBook then. I wasn't aware of this little factoid, thanks for the heads-up.

Any meaningful info on the iLiad? I'm not the enemy of my purse or anything and the CyBook could be perfect but if there would be some way to make it pop bubbles on touching the words that would be un-freaking beliveably awesome.

Is there a huge difference between the 4bit vs 8bit e-Ink panels btw?

Dictionaries are important. I've tried to simply skim through a dictionary once but quit before reaching letter C. So incredibly boring. Anyways. I'm considering the CyBook now.

Ofc I appreciate any further info.
