Dictionary support is essential feature for me, but I am not sure that the best way to handle it is for Sony to bundle it with every PRS-700.

It is obvious to me that this feature is not essential for a whole bunch of users, and the question is why should they be forced to pay for the content that they don't want?

What I want from Sony is to make their reading software "dictionary aware", handle word selection and provide clear interface for launching external dictionaries. If that is done, the community will kick in with "non-copyrighted" solutions, and content providers (Merriam-Webster, Oxford) would hopefully be able to sell us one of their dictionaries that can fit our individual needs and pockets.

My 2 cents.
