You quit the book you are reading, go to the home page of the Kobo, summon up the Spanish/English dictionary and then type in and look up what you think is the infinitive of the verb, which, often enough, is indeed present (despite the fact you were originally told that the word is not in the dictionary when you looked it up inside the book you are reading). This time-wasting solution is what I would like to avoid in a good "reading" dictionary by having all the verb forms and other derived forms directly accessible inside the book itself, giving immediate access to the infinitive and its translation.
I can't help with the dictionary, but you don't need to close the book to do this. If you go to search within the book, you can search the dictionary by pressing the drop down in the top right and selecting "Dictionary". Search is on the menu accessed from the bottom bar, or when you select a word, it is on the popup menu.
