Device: bebook neo, PRS-900 DE
I'm considering this as a replacement for my PRS-900. I can't stand the glare and the lower contrast not to mention how I hate having to fiddle around with finding an angle were the glare is not present. Granted, I haven't tried it with a proper reading light but I still expect it to be readable in decent light that one could read a book from. Real pity too because the PRS-900 does lots of things right but I don't think I can live with the screen quality.

I found the Boox by coming across the Bebook Neo which is the same hardware. Firmware differences aside, I'm not seeing much reason to get something that is $350 when it can be had for $299. I know the bebook firmware doesn't come with a dictionary but I hear it does support .dict so you could load your own from SD.

Does the dictionary on the Boox support word links? IE, I double click on the word and the dictionary definition displays said word if available?
