One of the neat features of the Rocket eBook was a free dictionary to download. Then you could highlight any word and click on "Lookup" and get the definition in a box.

I realize the Reader can't do that, but it would be nice if they would make a dictionary available, even if had to buy it. It would really be handy, but I don't quite know how you could use one. If, like the Rocket eBook they had a "Find" feature, then it would work.

I guess you could use the buttons to get close to the wanted word, then do the 10-pages-at-a-time forward or back, then page to the definition wanted.

How I miss that old eBook!
