I agree. This is probably the approach taken by Sony on the PRS-600.

The dictionary also does not then have to be in MOBI format, and there are several Linux dictionary apps (and dictionary formats) that could be made to work on the DR1000S and (presumably) the new 8.1" device. On the other hand, MobiPocket does have a well supported dictionary capability and it is already well integrated into the DR1000S's API. For the US market, it might even be better for iRex to keep MOBI rather than switching to mobile ADE.
