Reader for polyglott use
Hello!
I finally decided that an e-reader could be useful. We travel 3 months a year with backpack, and carrying books, language methods, and maybe guides is not an option if you cross many countries...
Eventually at home, I would like to keep on practicing the languages I learned. So far, there are up to 12 different languages I would like to read in on my reader.
I see that most of the reader have already some basic dictionaries, but my questions are:
- How simple is it to find and add some extra bilingual dictionaries?
- Is there a difference on the device?
- Are they all displaying characters of any language? UTF8 at least.
- How simple is it on different devices to select a word, to get its translation, to change the default dictionary while reading?
- How good are the dictionaries with inflexed words? (declinations, conjugations; e.g. друзьям -> друг, olabilirsiniz -> olmak)
My idea is to be able read text in foreign languages without using my paper dictionaries to read faster, and thereby not losing the idea of what I am reading.
Is there any e-reader to recommend for that?
I live in France, so my options, or at least the ones I consider, are :
- Amazon Kindle (Basic, Touch or Paperwhite)
- Sony Reader T2
- Kobo (Touch or Glo)
Between the models, I don't know.. I think I'll go rather for Sony or Kobo, because if I got it right, they're more open..
Regarding the other contents, is it easy to add apps, or your own content (without buying from the specific shop)?
