But the main idea is that manufacturers and publishers need to commence a mutual dialogue. The fragmentation of the market caused by the lack of standards, by the variety of reading devices supporting numerous ebook formats is doing noone any good.
So again -- COMMUNICATION!

Dear Abelturd,
As the technical architect of a company which is developing embedded software for ebook devices, I'm following your discussions with pleasure and interest. I hope we will soon have time to add dictionary support in our Epub reader. So please don't hesitate posting your suggestions here, they'll be studied ;-)
Best regards,
Surfin'Jim
