In my opinion, there is zero chance that the Hanlins will get MOBI dictionary support, because now Adobe ePub is their "primary" format. Given your investment in MOBI, it is likely that the Bookeen Cybook Gen3 is your best option. It is probably more expensive in Thailand than the Hanlins, but it is more capable for MOBI.

There is, though, some chance that the Pocket Pro will get some kind of dictionary support. This might be eReader dictionaries, or a built-in (firmware) dictionary. The fact that the Hanlins support so many formats works against dictionaries, since complete support across all formats requires more effort. So I would put the odds low, perhaps 15%.
