Dictionary/translator lookups would be very cool!

As for cheaper books, I just don't see how this could happen. How much less do you think it costs to produce a book in e instead of p? I would not be surprised if it costs only pennies to produce a paper book, so how then can they reduce the cost of the e version any more than they already do?

Perhaps books are hugely overpriced in the first place, but that's an argument for another day ;-)
