Encarta's dictionary isn't really used for everyday lookup, since MS-Reader wasn't designed for database retrieval like a dedicated dictionary. So using 'find' in MS-Reader really sux! Sometimes it takes up to a minute to find something! On the other hand, when you're reading a book in MS-Reader, highlighting the word and click 'lookup' would bring up the definition real quick -- which is what the encarta dictionary is really for, looking up definitions in ebooks of lit format.
For those who doesn't want to buy Lextionary, there's an alternative -- since Lextionary's lexicons are based on Princeton's "WordNet" - just get TomeRaider (it has tonnes of database for free download! ie: encyclopaedias, reference text, etc..) or other eBook readers, and download a compatible format of "WordNet Max". I have compared the definitions of both, and they are identical! Of course, Lexicon has some really nice features built-in... for a price tho =)
