I'm a native English speaker and read almost exclusively in English. I occasionally attempt to muddle my way through things in German or Japanese.

With Japanese it is very hard because there are so many Kanji that I don't know yet. Has anyone seen an ereader or ereader software for Apple devices which contains the Hiragana and English translations for Kanji?

I also attempt to read in German occasionally, but not on my iPhone yet. Usually I am just trying to make sense out of a website written in German (txtr?!).

It seems to me that ereaders ought to be ideal for reading in foreign languages, but I don't know much about translation dictionaries on any of them.
