BTW, you can test the monolingual English and Spanish dictionaries yourself by installing any of the free Kindle apps. (The Kindle apps come with the UK/US Oxford English dictionaries and the DRAE Spanish dictionary.)
If you buy a current eInk Kindle model and register it with Amazon you can also download the Spanish<->English Oxford dictionaries for free. (However, these dictionaries usually need to be manually downloaded.)
Registered eInk Kindle * users can download 30 monolingual and bilingual dictionaries.
Here's the complete list:

Hi there,
I think that was an incredibly good reply. Some questions.
If I buy the latest papperwhite model, and register it on amazon.co.uk , will I be able to download for free the English Oxford dictionaries and some of the ones listed in your spoiler list?
I downloaded the kindle app on my IPad and when I started it , it required my Amazon credentials, which I did not have so I didnt continue.
If after registering my future papperwhite model, and can download for free the dictionaries needed, is it difficult to manually add those dictionaries into the papperwhite system?
I have to say, your spoiler list of dictionaries has me this close to becoming a papperwhite owner.
