That is the gist of my comment about why they make Fords and Chevys, despite similar features, costs, and looks, some people desire only Fords and others desire only Chevys (likewise Rolls and Bentleys).

In this comment you seem to contradict your previous comment that others have a right to their opinion that selection of a e-reader based on the availability of a dictionary is their entitlement. Obviously enough market analysis confirms this is a desirable feature or e-reader manufacturers wouldn't go to the added cost of engineering one into their devices. In fact, you have to go out of your way to buy a recently released e-reader that doesn't have dictionary support. But then I'm sure that you'll refuse to use that feature on your next device because you've known all the words you need to know since the 6th grade and you can cypher out the rest.

Despite the fact that you don't want us to do so, there are quite a few folks on this forum that consider dictionary support as a 'must have' feature in an e-reader. So your derogatory comment at the beginning of this thread will gain you nothing good here. You're incorrect in assuming no one wants the dictionary feature and you're incorrect in assuming we're somehow your inferior for wanting dictionary support.
