touchscreen with dictionary lookup

junior · 04-20-2009, 10:08 AM

Hi,

Is there an ereader with touchscreen and support with the Mobipocket dictionary lookup function?

The iRex iLiad and Digital Reader both have a touch screen and MOBI dictionary support, but they are both expensive with large EInk screens.

Without a touch screen, probably the best MOBI dictionary support is provided by the Cybook Gen3. However, it might be worth waiting to see how much faster the next generation of devices with the Epson controller are for dictionary lookup (the Kindle 2, with Epson, is much better than the Kindle 1 for example).

Hi wallcraft,

Actually both are too expensive for my income.

If the PRS-700 (with touchscreenand without wi-fi) had support dictionary lookup would be perfect for me.

For now I'll stay with my cybook.
