Once upon a time, when microwave ovens were introduced, somebody told me "if you haven't bought it, you have no clue why would you need one; once you have it, you wonder how you lived without it before".
Dictionary integration on electronic reader is a part of new experience, and I can not but notice that most of the users who want one already had a device with dictionary integration.
With the proliferation of these devices, with the exposure to reading platforms that do have dictionary integration (MS reader, mobi), the pressure to implement that feature would increase, and the current mood on MR is pretty good glimpse into the future, IMHO.
