On the other hand, much as I want a dictionary, the marketplace for the Sony reader has encouraged them so much that they have brought out not just 1 but 2 different upgraded models within the first 4 years, so sales must be significantly high in number or Sony would have abandoned it years ago.
So, sad or not from the point of view of many of us end-users, Sony hasn't felt the need to add it as a selling point.
Perhaps when Kindle2 comes out, it might tip the marketplace enough that Sony feels they need to add a little something extra, and my bet is that they have dictionary software in the works for a firmware upgrade for at least the 700, if not the 505.
