It occurs to me that I may not have asked the obvious question: Are there e-versions of commercial dictionaries that one can buy and install in PB 360? We have been talking in various threads about creating freeware dictionaries, but there is no reason to do this if there are commercial ones available. For example, this Barron's It-Eng dict offers a free electronic version with the paperback: http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-Italia.../dp/0764137646. It says: "FREE electronic dictionary for downloading on your PC and nearly all PDAs and smartphones." Would this work on the PB 360? Here's another one for "Windows Mobile" (whatever that is): http://download.cnet.com/BEIKS-Engli...n;overviewHead. Here's another advertised as an "ebook": http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/d...307432933.html. Here's one for the MobiPocket Reader (whatever that is): http://www.collinslanguage.com/shop/...obipocket.aspx.
