French to English dictionary

I read mostly English books, but about a third of my reading is in French as a second language. I was thinking of buying a Kobo Glo; can anyone comment on the quality of the French to English, and French/French dictionaries?

The dictionaries on Kobo devices seem rather basic - the equivalent of pocket dictionaries you'd buy your kid for school (ie, heavily abridged) rather than the full, comprehensive hardbacks you'd find at a decent reference library.
