JSWolf, I'm asking this sincerely, I don't want you to go off.
I'm VERY interested in the new Sony devices and part of the reason is that they do have a dictionary lookup, which I find is a dealbreaker must have feature. You mentioned above another reason I'm interested in them, ePub support. So here is my question: I've read here on Mobileread that the ePub format doesn't have a formal dictionary schema yet (I know folks here are trying to change that), so if you are reading an ePub book on the new Sony devices, do you lose built in dictionary support? Or does the device run a LRX/LRF dictionary in the background? How does that work? Please tell me it does work!
