Are you looking for e-ink or tablet type? Where are you located? Those 2 points would be important factors for recommendations...
If a tablet is OK, then any that allows for the installation of the Aldiko app would work.

I have both a Kobo Vox and a Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Aldiko app meets most of your requirements except mobi format books and dictionary. However it does allow you to Google any word that you "long-press" from within the app to get a definition.

It can be used with the Calibre server to download your books wirelessly, allows reading of pdf as well as epubs. You can group your books into "collections" with this app as well as search by "tag".
It allows for borrowing library books without using the Overdrive app, gives page number you are at as compare to total book pages and has many more features (and it's free).
