I agree with Harry. Who are we kidding, how complicated can formatting on a 6" screen get? On a screen that small any elaborate formatting is counterproductive. The big screens though, like in case of Kindle DX, that's a whole different story.
I wouldn't really miss the dictionary support in it's present form. I so wish bookeen would impove it somehow (faster navigation, dedicated button). At the moment I'm using mobipocket dictionaries on my ipaq as a substitute for lookup function on cybook. It works really well, I installed happy tapping keyboard, so I can use my fingers instead of stilus. I set the backlight to turn off after 10 secs and the power to be turned off after 5 minutes, so I don't have to turn the ipaq on and off again so often while the power drain stays small.
