Dictionary is required

Unlike some folks here who know all the words in the English language, there are often a word or two per book that I don't know - and I took 5 years of Latin in school. I suppose it's the lack of a good grounding in Greek, German and Saxon that trips me up! In any case I'd find a dictionary extremely useful in an e-book reader. The integrated light was a tipping point decision maker for me, but the lack of a dictionary makes the 700 less than my ideal device. I want wifi too, because it's free in my building and covers the pool area, gym and community library, but if it's not going to be available by the end of this year (and it looks pretty certain it's not), then adding a dictionary would keep me happy until I can upgrade to the 700X or whatever the next device is called. I'd like to have it to get my RSS feeds updated automatically and to buy another book without having to go back to my apartment.
