Hello. I recently learned that the current Sony Readers come with quite good built-in foreign language translation dictionaries. The Sony Reader Pocket Edition is $149 right now at Borders (US). The included dictionaries alone would cost more than that if you bought print copies! For some of us, this is an important feature that Kindle and Nook don't have yet. The languages included are Spanish, French, Italian, German and Dutch. All of the dictionaries are English to/from the foreign language (as opposed to monolingual foreign language dictionaries or multilingual translation dictionaries). The Sony Readers also come with the New Oxford American Dictionary and the Oxford Dictionary of English, which are the same English dictionaries that the latest Kindle has.
