Russian-English dictionary in Kindle - pros and cons?

[Stephanie Briggs]

That Facebook page looks awesome!

Amazon UK has this one, but I have no way to tell how good it might be:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/English-Russian-Dictionary-With-Transcriptions-ebook/dp/B003LBRMC4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3TVV12T0I6NSM&s=digital-text&qid=1307555033&sr=1-1

But if one's Kindle doesn't have Cyrillic, it could only handle
English-Russian translation, eh? There'd be no way to type in a Russian
word, unless it was transliterated. Then you run into problems with
differences in transliteration standards...

There is a discussion forum on amazon.com dealing with foreign language
books, and so far the only entries I've found deal with German-English
dictionaries in Kindle format; so no issue of Cyrillic font there.
