I agree, except maybe on the dictionnary support. I understand this is not well supported currently in ePub. I'm not sure what that means exactly, but I think it has to do with identifying different forms of the same word, such as conjugations for verbs, plural etc.
I bought a dictionnary in mobi format, and when reading a mobi book this allows me to find, say, "readers" because the dictionnary includes "readers" as a form of "reader". As far as I know (but I may be wrong) this feature is not supported in ePub.
On, for instance, the Pocketbook 360, there is a dictionary function that more or less works around this by showing words that have the same beginning as the one I am looking for. This works in the case of "readers" and "reader", but it may not work so well in other cases. For example in French, the verb "prendre" can have forms such as "pris", "prise", "prenez". I'm not sure there is a dictionary in ePub format that could handle these forms. Or is there?
