It's just such a shame, though, that Sony have "dropped the ball" in not providing dictionary lookup (IMHO) because it's something that an eBook reader is just so
good at compared with looking up a word in a paper dictionary, even supposing that you do have one at hand.
In case you were wondering, by the way, a "quagga" is a now-extinct relative of the zebra, looking very like a donkey with stripes.
