After testing both over the last days I prefer using Sergey's Coolreader, even though it has no dictionary function yet. It is much more flexible, it works with KUAL, and I have installed it on my three readers (PW2, Aura HD and PB623) and it works the same on all 3 which for me is a huge advantage.

Plus I don't like the way Duokan wants me to migrate my account (for the mail to kindle function) to a bookstore. It seems to be not about hacking and enabling kindles to be used in chinese anymore but about profit, and if they think they are going to earn money with me (or anyone) based on the work that our dev team did, then I'd rather pass on the whole experience thank you very much.
I succeeded
Just had to extract it , yes the way it enable dictionaries is not good as kindle do, duokan open all the dictionaries in many pages.
I see if I open a pdf with chinese in duokan the dictionary works on the wrong line.


I have still this unanswered question:

OT. Since I have the new PW2 JB I want to prevent Amazon to upgrade my firmware, have I to install the loophole hack to prevent this even on this version ?

Thanks!!
