Well, I just placed my (back)order for a Cybook Gen3... I had my eye out on the Kindle 2, after being happy with the majority of the features of the Kindle 1 but wanting a leaner machine, and then I realized that it still didn't have unicode support, and I didn't want to re-invest that money unless I could read Russian books. So, I then started looking around for thin ebooks which support Russian text and dictionaries, since the latter is one of the features I really liked in the Kindle.

So, my question - what dictionaries have people found to be worth getting for the Cybook? Mainly, I'd need an English-English one, but Russian-English would be great, too, if that's possible, or Russian-Russian.

PS: Any decent free ones out there?
