No, what I said above was perfectly true. To elaborate:
When I owned a Sony (and wrote the posts that you quoted) I didn't see the point of a dictionary and didn't see the need for one.
I then sold my Sony and bought an iLiad, and on
that I started to use a dictionary, and realised just how amazingly useful it was. I decided, though, that I preferred a 6" screen device to the iLiad, and so, when I was looking around for a new 6" device to buy, the fact that the Gen3 supported dictionary lookup was indeed one of my my prime motivations for buying one, as I stated above.
It's kind of like having air-con in your car - you can go for years without it and not miss it, but once you're had it, you'd never want another car without it
