I'd like to point out that, with the most recent operating system (released in the last four days or so), iRex and Mobipocket have now made dictionary support available on the iLiad. What this means is that when I'm reading a Mobipocket book, I can look up any word I encounter with two screen taps.

The most common thing by far I want to search for while reading a book is a word's definition. The time saved in having to schlep over to my kitchen to grab the 15 lb dictionary is amazing. Even if you're used to reading with a large dictionary at your side, it's impossible that you'd be able to look up a definition more quickly the old school way. Oh, and a really nice benefit: when you buy a Mobipocket dictionary, you get to load it on multiple devices. Mine's on my Palm as well as my iLiad (and of course, also on the PC). I can look up a word on any of them faster than I could have grabbed the dictionary and flipped to the right page.
