thanks for the reply.
I tried the dictionary you mentioned, but I don't think this is the one I've had in mind.
It's slow, unhandy, you have to open it like a regular book and use search function to find the word, and it seems take forever to make a hit (or did I do it wrong ?).
I've owned a casio EW-V2500L dictionary, it can read text. you can actually select any word in the text, and press a display button, then there comes the explanation, you don't have to type the same word again, and it's fast.
I guess when I said wanting a dictionary, may be it's more like a integrated dictionary performing like what casio EW-V2500L does.
Ah, you just found the 2nd Achilles’ heel of PRS-700!
BTW- welcome to the forum! I have the Sony PRS-700 and it is my first ebook reader, as well. I do love mine! But, I sure wish it had that integrated dictionary you spoke of! But I do have the free Webster's 1913 dictionary and I've been able to find every word I've looked up.
