Why would adding dictionary support to the PRS-700 result in anyone paying for any content? Nobody (to the best of my knowledge) is suggesting that they actually INCLUDE a dictionary with the device; indeed, that would be counter-productive, because no one dictionary is going to appeal to everybody (eg Americans would want an American English dictionary, Britons would want a British English dictionary).

Simply make it like devices with MobiPocket support - the software provides a dictionary interface, but the user buys a dictionary if they want one.
