I currently own a BeBook One, but I'm considering a new e-reader.
Since the clicking sound of the buttons on my current reader can be sometimes irritating for my husband, I'd like a touch-screen reader. I prefer a reader that uses ePub, although I have all my books de-DRMed, and might be able to convert them to Mobi.
I'd like a reader that can organize my library according to my Calibre-tags.
So far, it seems that Sony is my best option.
However, I heard that the choice of dictionaries loaded on the Sony readers can be different from one country to another, and that it isn't possible to load new dictionaries on the device.
So my questions are:
- Is it true, that not 'all' available Sony dictionaries are loaded, depending on the country where you buy the device?
- If this is true, where can I find information about which ones are loaded?
- What is the quality of the dictionaries? In English, my passive vocabulary is quite extensive, so I would like very good English dictionary.
For other languages, I'd like to have at least an English/German, English/French and English/Italian dictionary (No need for English/Dutch, just the English dictionary will be sufficient for those English words I don't know yet).
(I know that for the Kindle, you can buy extra dictionaries, but I don't like the Amazon-ecosystem - I have considered the Pocketbook, but afaik, the touchscreen of that device can only be operated by the stylus, no 'fingertip-reactivity')
