On the Sony readers there are two Oxford dictionaries. I started up one of my Sonys to see what they're called - they're the "New Oxford American Dictionary" and the "Oxford Dictionary of English".

I found the "English" version was usually better when reading books written/set in England or Australia while the "American" version was generally better when reading books written/set in the US or Canada. Each had some words (especially slang) that weren't in the other and if a word had multiple meanings, the "English" dictionary would normally list the most commonly used British definition first and the "American" dictionary would list the most commonly used US version first.

So I take it the "English" version is what's on Kobo with the new firmware?
