All too true, and one of the reasons I held off on buying one of the new readers, but it does not have to eliminate searches entirely. As I really wanted a built-in light, I purchased the eBookwise, and one of the surprise features is the ability to tap a word, and get search options for that word, including Next, Previous and a dictionary search (if you have installed the free dictionary).
Of course, without a touch screen, and with the slow refresh, even highlighting a word on the Sony could be a painful process, but it should be quite easy on the Irex.
