Correct. Thanks tshering.

What we need from Kobo is more open policy of installing dictionaries, not a more restricted.

Let's look at the competition: Kindle. You can buy a dictionary or install your own. New Kindle has two different English dictionaries: Oxford English and New Oxford American English. You can buy more: Collins, Merriam-Webster, WordNet... You can buy PWN English-Polish dictionary or install free Bumato English-Polish - you can have both, of course. You can install as many dictionaries as you need.

Why it is not possible on Kobo's reader? This is not a technical issue, it is a policy. If Kobo's policy does not change, users will just look elswhere.
