I also recommend the M-W Collegiate Dictionary. I bought MS Dict, and like it, but the entries in M-W are longer, more detailed, with some clues about word origins, and the date the word was first introduced.
The M-W does have its quirks. PalmReader Pro supports the full screen of my Clie NX70, but when you launch the dictionary (by highlighting a word) the display switches to 320x320, and 1/3 of that is used by two boxes: one in which you type in the beginning of a word you want to look for, and a second which displays alphabetically adjacent entries. (So you can just type in a few letters in box #1, and than tap in box #2 when you see the word you want).
I'd prefer to be able to use the full screen. Yes, sometimes I do just want to *read* the dictionary, and not just quickly look up a definition.
Also, the dictionary uses the default system fonts, and *not* the font you've chosen for the book you're currently your reading. So the AGFA fonts you may have paid for when you bought Pro won't be used when you're using your dictionary or other reference books.
