Thanks Keng2000.

May I rephrase what you say in order to make it clear for me.

For mobi ebook, I can have a lookup dictionary if I install the mentioned webster 1913 on the SD card?

So if I convert Thai-content pdf file to rtf format, would it be better? I will also get the dictionary lookup?

The main reason of reading mobi is because I use Mobipocket desktop to retrieve full-content enews (+ photos in the news, if any) and copy them to my device (it is iPhone 3G + Kindle app) for offline reading. It is the most convenient/completed tools (also try Calibre, but very slow). So it is one of the most important deciding factor in choosing an ebook reader, apart from dictionary support.

The pdf reflow for Thai content would be very nice; if working, it would be the first device in the market which support Thai reflow. Excellent softwar like GoodReader app on iPhone which handles pdf file very well still cannot display Thai in reflow mode.

Thai keyboard is also a nice addition. Thai menu is of less important to me; but would be great for typical Thai or Thai students.

Thanks again for your information and looking forwards to seeing the screen dump.
