Welcome to MobileRead, Journier!
I, too, have both the EBW1150 and the 700 and I definitely miss the dictionary on my Sony. I am praying for the day Sony comes out with a firmware update that includes a dictionary look-up capability.
That has been a huge topic of discussion on the 700 forum since the device hit the market.
Don't worry about being too verbose here, when it comes to discussing our favorite topics, ebooks and readers, we tend to be a "wordy" lot!
Don't be shy about jumping into the fray, we're happy to have you with us.
Happy reading!
