Hi all, new here, looks like a very lively community.

My mother tongue is French. I read lots of novels in English to improve my knowledge of the language. But I find the process of looking up words in a paper dictionary very tedious. So tedious I don't do it anymore. I just skip the words I don't understand. That's a waste.

Hence the idea to buy an e-book reader with a good dictionary look-up feature.

Two questions :

- Do you think I would benefit from an e-book reader in this regard ? If the process is just as tedious as it is with a paper dictionary, I won't bother.

- Which e-book reader does it best ? Ideally it would be e-ink based, not a tablet.

Thank you.
