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.
