Ok, point taken, OI doesn't have dictionary support yet. But you have to admit that the dictionary lookup in its present state sucks, if I had to lookup a word more than twice per page, I would definitely resort to using my pda or a paper dictionary.
Even though I don't have a hands on experience with hanlin, I believe it could do as good a job as cybook with non-drm mobipocket files and it would allow you to make better use of the screen as you can set up the size of margins.
Another thing, I don't know how good is hanlin's drm support, not that it would really matter to me.
Anyway, Mobipocket's prc is not my format of choice as it's proprietary, I prefer html or xml, something you can edit and convert and customize to your own liking.
