I never said coolreader was perfect. And OP never asked for a complete feature list. I personally use the Kindle app, for sync feature with my other kindles, but unless you already have mobi books, or other kindles, or you plan to make amazon your bookstore (not a bad idea) then the kindle app might not be the best choice.
As for dictionary support - coolreader supports android dictionary applications such as fora, color dict, aard, and dictan. I don't use a dictionary with my coolreader, so could not tell you what quality they are - more than likely worse than kindle. Seeing in other threads how other ereader devices lack the nice dictionarys of kindles, the kindle app might be the best app if a good quality offline dictionary is desired.
And by the way, HarryT, you could have addressed the OP and say that in your opinion the Kindle App is much better for its free downloadable dictonaries. Unless I misread your post, you appear to attack me for not mentioning dictionaries - hard to read tone of voice when only reading text.
