I have a Kobo Touch, which is the clear winner for firmware updates. Firmware updates are frequent and often include added features.
I'm not sure if you can download pages off the web - on any reader. I haven't really tried it on mine.
The dictionary for English on the Kobo Touch is good (Merriam-Webster), and Kobo has recently launched internationally, but I don't see an option for Greek in my "language" settings. I don't have the most current firmware though. The Nook does not appear to support Greek either.
It's unclear to me from your post whether you intend to read in English or Greek. But if it's Greek, neither one currently has support, though both say they may expand their language support in the future.
Best Buy should have demos for you to test out. Two things to keep in mind with the Kobo, though:
1. The demos are often running very old firmware.
2. The Kobo has an option to set your refresh rate between once every page turn, and once every 6 page turns. So if you see some mild ghosting, it's probably not a flaw in the reader - it's just set to a low refresh rate. If it bothers you, you can set it to refresh every page.
I can see you have a problem with restrictive companies and products. So do I. And between the Kindle, Nook, and Kobo, the Kobo is by far the most open. That's one of the reasons I went with it.
