I can only speak as an English speaking owner of a jetBook Lite. Since Christmas I have read seven books, all public domain, six of which came with the device.

It is very rare that the English dictionary has the word I look up.

I can imagine that for someone learning the English language the dictionary is sufficient. But for English speakers (who we can presume [because they own an eBook reader] like to read and therefore have a larger vocabulary than non-readers), the English dictionary is of little help.
