I have just brought one of the Sony Readers in the UK (from Waterstones).

I installed the eBook Library and it appears to work OK, but I tried "Check for Updates" (I always do with new SW) and I get the message "Server Error" almost straight away

I have tried this since last Thursday in case its a temporary problem, but I still get it. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

Also I have read all the comments about no dictionary on the Sony Reader and not being able to search etc.

If I DO want a dictionary and are happy to just flip through it like a normal dictionary, are there any options in Adobe or LRF formats out there? The only ones I have found (Collins/Webster/Oxford English) are only in Mobi Format.
