Also, annotations (I can do that on pdf's on the Iliad, but I can't do dictionary lookups on a pdf...wait, I don't think I can? Can I? I'll have to go look). Also, I wouldn't mind if these annotations could be links...to other books, to online sources, to files (assuming a multi-function device, which I'm not at all averse to).
Cheers,

Apple has shown us how it is done. The core of the functionality on iPhone/iTouches is Apple business, 3rd party applications are there for those who want more and are ready to pay for it.
Sadly, some of the stuff mentioned on this thread falls, very much so, into the "core business" category. Dictionary support is NATIVE function for any (dedicated or not) ebook reading device.

The Kindle 2 allows you to look up articles on Wikipedia right from the device using Wispernet. Dictionary support is also a feature; you can either use the default dictionary that comes pre-installed, or change to a dictionary of your own choosing. Unfortunately, multiple dictionary support is not a feature. You can add annotations via the keyboard. It's really a handy device.
If only there was a notepad function!
