If you dont want to root your ereader or create your own dictionaries, PocketBook is definitely the way to go. There is a PocketBook forum here on Mobileread with a lot of info on available dictionaries; do have a look! And you can easily install fonts for any character set you might need. You can add your own content simply by copying books to your reader, or use a micro SD card. As to apps, if you want a lot of them you'd better buy an Android tablet than an E Ink reader, but there is some stuff available that you can install on PocketBook readers.

Onyx readers have similar flexibility, but their problem is that the dictionary function does not support inflected/conjugated word forms. PocketBook does.

Using a dictionary while reading is a lot easier on readers with a touchscreen. On the PocketBook touch, for instance, once you have activated the dictionary function all you need to do is tap the word you want to look up. A problem is that the dictionary window overlaps the reading window, so for comfortable reading you need to close it each time and activate the dictionary function again when you want to look up another word. This may or may not be resolved at some point in time.
